Playtime Marching Song Lyrics for kids : Attention! Are you ready to march? Yes, Maam! Ready, march! 1, 2, 3, 4 Pick your feet up off the floor! 5, 6, 7, 8 Time to march and don't be late! Every day at playtime, We march around the room Too-da-loo goes the trumpet The big drum goes boom boom! The glockenspiel is ringing, Ding-a-ling-a-ding-a-dong! And everybody's singing The playtime marching song! Private! Yes sir? I mean, ma'am, sir! Are you having fun? Yes sir, Ma'am! Listen to the sergeants And do just what they say If they tell you to march backwards, You do it anyway Make sure your shoes are shiny Your collar stiff with starch And swing your arms and stomp your feet And join the playtime march! Hup, 2, 3, 4! Hup, 2, 3, 4! Left! Right! Left! Right! Company march! 1, 2, 3, 4 Pick your feet up off the floor! 5, 6, 7, 8 Time to march and don't be late! We march around in circles We march around in squares We march around in singles We march around pairs If the sergeant didn't stop us, We'd march the whole day long And stamp our feet to the happy beat, Of the playtime marching song! And stamp our feet to the happy beat, Of the playtime marching song!
