LYRICS

They call your daddy Big Boots

And Big Boots is his name

It takes a big man to wear big boots

That's your daddy's claim to fame

They know your daddy Big Boots

Wherever soldiers are

'Cause he can handle an armored tank

Just like a kiddy car

So sleep, little soldier

Don't you cry

Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

General Sandman's soon coming by

Loo loo loo loo

Loo loo loo

Gonna tell you a little secret

You won't believe it's true

Did you know your daddy, Big Boots

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?

Once wore little boots like you?
