Ten little soldier boys
Went out to dine
One choked his little self
And then there were nine

Nine little soldier boys 
Stayed up very late
One overslept himself
And then there were eight

Eight little soldier boys
Travelling in Devon
One said he’d stay there
And then there were seven

Seven little soldier boys 
Chopping up sticks
One chopped himself in halves
And then there were six

Six little soldier boys
Playing with a hive
A bumblebee stung one
And then there were five

Five little soldier boys
Going through a door
One stubbed his toe
And then there were four

Four little soldier boys
Going out to sea
A red herring swallowed one
And then there were three

Three little soldier boys 
Walking in the zoo
A big bear hugged one
And then there were two

Two little soldier boys 
Sitting in the sun
One got frizzled up
And then there was One

One little soldier boys 
Left all alone
He went and hanged himself
And then there were none
