In the attic

A drum, a whistle, an old tin hat
A box of medals for your chest, like that
A cap, a bottle, a bayonet
I'm the officer - and don't forget!

A belt, a buckle, a silver key
An old-fashioned monocle to help you see
A gun, a bullet: hands on your head
You're my prisoner - and now you're dead!
