Tom Paxton
Momma’s Tough Little Soldier
[Verse 1]
Who's got a rip in the seat of his overalls?
Who' s got jam in his ear?
Who's been playin' in the landlady's flower bed?
Momma's little soldier

[Verse 2]
Who got Momma in trouble at the supermarket?
Who made the cans fall down?
Who's gonna stay at home when I go again?
Momma's little soldier

[Chorus]
Momma's soldier big and strong
Not afraid of iodine
Take your nap, and we'll have a snack
Tough little soldier of mine

[Verse 3]
Who cut pictures out of the magazine
Pasted them up on the wall?
Who didn't know Daddy hadn't read the magazine?
Momma's little soldier

[Verse 4]
Who couldn't wait 'til he got a puppy dog?
Who said he loved one so?
Who's nеver there whеn the puppy needs feedin'?
Momma's little soldier
[Chorus]
Momma's soldier big and strong
Not afraid of iodine
Take your nap, and we'll have a snack
Tough little soldier of mine

[Verse 5]
Who loves to jump in the back of the station wagon?
Who loves to go for a ride?
Who needs to stop at ev'ry other service station?
Momma's little soldier

[Verse 6]
Who had too much ice cream and soda?
Who doesn't feel very well?
Who scared poor Mrs. Brown with a bullfrog?
Momma's little soldier

[Chorus]
Momma's soldier big and strong
Not afraid of iodine
Take your nap, and we'll have a snack
Tough little soldier of mine

[Outro]
Rough little soldier of mine
Destructive little soldier of mine
