Third Tin Soldier:
We’re every one commanders—I give orders just to me
And all the others drill themselves as fine as fine can be.
We’re a most delightful army as you all can plainly see,
Toy soldiers brave and bold.
If possible a simple military drill should be performed. They march to one side. From behind counter come books. They go to front of stage. As each one finishes saying her verse she steps to rear of stage across from Soldiers.
