I don't really have time to play with dolls
_____
So my child, don't blame me
_____
I'll make up that time, I promise you
_____
But meanwhile, open the bottom drawer
_____
You'll find, deep inside, well hidden
_____
A few of my old soldiers
_____
But careful, you're not allowed to break them
_____
Those soldiers watch over you
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
_____
I don't really have time to correct your notebooks
_____
But my child, don't worry
_____
If it's not perfect I'll be there to erase
_____
But meanwhile read this story
_____
You'll discover the life of Tom Thumb
_____
Who's afraid of getting lost in his tracks
_____
But for you, no need to sow
_____
I've already done it, that's how it is
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
_____
For tomorrow I'd wish just one thing
_____
That you drop the soldiers
_____
That you stay a good little guy
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting
_____
And I see you as a great warrior
_____
Who laughs out loud in front of a whole army
_____
And I see you like a little schoolboy
_____
Who doesn't fight for fear of hurting
_____
And I see you my buddy, my child
_____
My little guy, my confidant
_____
I see you dying of laughter in the school yard
_____
I see you, arm in arm
_____
Beside the one who'll surely take you away from me
