Little boy with your ship a toy an admiral you pretend to be With your paper hat and your wooden sword you sail into fantasy Little boy oh how you enjoy being a pirat so bold With your broken spoon and your little pail you dig hoping to find gold Little boy if you don't find your gold don't let it break your heart For tomorrow is another day and a new game you can start Little don't you destroy your dreams of fantasy For when you grow up and the world is yours who knows what you might be Little boy who knows what you might be Little boy you can be what you want to be
