Boy In The Sandbox LyricsOnce there was a little boy who spent his days in his sandbox with his toys
His favorite one was a soldier with a gun, they had so much fun, oh boy
And then he left his sandbox for another toy called a girl
But now they got him bad playing toy soldier boy for the world

In sandbox days when he was sick of playing with his soldier man
He'd knock him down onto the ground and then cover him up with sand
And now he’s waiting for the day when he can see his lady love
The world it knocks him to the ground and six feet of sand cover him up

Peaceful days are now at hand and everyone is feeling grand
Except the girl who's in her room, except the boy who's in his tomb of sand
She looked into her drawer and found some things he gave up when he said goodbye
She looked at it and tears came from her eyes as she held his toy soldier boy
She read the letter telling her of bayonets and all their fears
She read the letter telling her of how the bomb blasts hurt his ears
His babies watched in wonderment as his young wife drowned in tears
His babies stood with bayonets and bomb blasts hurt their ears
