When I was a kid I had a rocking horse Rocking to and fro, high and low Where we'd go no one'd know Thousands of tin soldiers were at my command Dressed in red dressed in blue Each command always followed through But now it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all Now I've changed and I have aged Left here with just memories How I wish to be young again But it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all When I was a kid I had a rocking horse Rocking to and fro, high and low Where we'd go no one'd know But it's not that way at all No it's not that way at all
