(Martin Cooper)
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun,
Pretending their lying on some battlefield dead after their tucked away safe in their bed.
[Chorus:]
Little play soldiers if only you knew what kind of battles are waiting for you.
Quiet, don't disturb all that innocence of youth. Tell them not to lie but never tell them the truth
That men will fall down while little boys grow but little play soldiers are too busy to know.
[Chorus]
Little white crosses and their rows are so long. How will it end if you don't know it's wrong?
Little play soldiers never know why, you love them and kiss them and then send them to die.
[Chorus]
Two little soldiers, their games are such fun, each with his helmet and little toy gun,
Soon they will lie on some battlefield dead 'stead of tucked away safe in their bed.
[Chorus]
All you little soldiers, if only you knew, what kind of battles are waiting for you.

The Kingston Trio è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 1957 a San Francisco, California. Composto da Dave Guard (voce e chitarra), Bob Shane (voce e banjo) e Nick Reynolds (voce e chitarra), il trio ha contribuito in modo significativo al folk revival degli anni '50 e '60. Il loro stile musicale era caratterizzato da arrangiamenti armonici raffinati, un mix di canzoni tradizionali folk americane e brani originali, spesso con testi ironici o satirici. Il successo del Kingston Trio fu enorme: hanno venduto milioni di dischi, hanno avuto numerosi successi in classifica, tra cui "Tom Dooley", "M-T-M" e "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", e sono stati ospiti di programmi televisivi popolari come "The Ed Sullivan Show". Il loro impatto sul panorama musicale americano fu notevole, contribuendo a diffondere la musica folk a un pubblico più ampio. Dopo diversi cambiamenti nella formazione nel corso degli anni, il gruppo si è sciolto nel 1967. Bob Shane ha continuato a esibirsi con una nuova formazione del Kingston Trio fino alla sua morte nel 2020.
