Ten Little Soldier Boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine Little Soldier Boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight Little Soldier Boys traveling 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 in for law; One got into Chancery 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 Fizzled up and then there was One. One Little Soldier Boys left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.
