The Parade of the Tin Soldiers (Die Parade der Zinnsoldaten), also known as The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, is an instrumental musical character-piece, in the form of a popular jaunty march, written by German composer Leon Jessel, in 1897.

The Parade of the Tin Soldiers was originally composed for solo piano. Jessel later published it for orchestra in 1905, as Opus 123. Today it is also a popular tune for marching bands, concert bands, and small orchestras, and for some extremely diverse alternate instrumentations as well!

Since the early 1920s, the piece has been very popular in the USA, and has also been frequently performed and recorded worldwide. A song, The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, was also created from the piece in 1922, with English lyrics by Ballard MacDonald.

A good while ago, I was asked whether there were lyrics for The Parade of the Tin Soldiers.

So I have now added a lead sheet with the words, as they might fit in with my arrangement. In the original version, there doesn't appear to be lyrics for the short section in the minor key, towards the end.

However, if you wanted to 'sing along' while you were playing my piano arrangement - or have someone else do it for you! - then the lead sheet should provide a 'rough guide' - in fact, just as I've referred to it on the part.
