Six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders
Never with a thought to dare

So take aim, children take aim
The drill sergeant sang with ample perspiration ordered
Stop your respiration
And end the flow of oxygen to the brain

So wake up, sleepyheads, listen what I have to say
As you near your Independence Day
Just keep in mind, in time your find so few
So few have your best interests in mind

So don't believe a thing you might hear
At least from the last 3-4,000 years
'Cause is wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
We had no concept of zero

So beware, children beware
The devil may care
And maybe he's the only one
