&emsp;Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan! &emsp;Forward, forward, forward! Wooden soldiers, leaden soldiers, Will soon deserve a different name. Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan! Forward, forward, forward!

&emsp;Rataplan, rataplan, rataplan! &emsp;Forward, forward, forward! When I blow upon my trumpet, Let everyone form a line! Rataplan, —plan, —plan! Forward, —'ward, —'ward!


 * To Paris, to Paris, to Paris,
 * On a little grey horse;
 * To Rouen, to Rouen, to Rouen,
 * On a little white horse;
 * At a walk, walk, walk—at a trot, trot, trot—

At a gallop, at a gallop, at a gallop.
