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

Dozens 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


But 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
