Johnny get your gun and sword and pistol
and fall in line
Bring your kiddie cars and hobby horses
it’s marching time
Listen to bugle playing Yankee Doodle
hear the melody
Hep! Hep! Keep in step
with the infant infantry
Hear the zing and the zang
and the bing and the bang
of the big tin pan parade
Hear the zoom and the boom
as they march through the room
in the big tin pan parade
You’ve never heard such tunes
as they pound on pans with table spoons
Off they march to the cookies and plums
they’ll soon have pains in their tummy-tums-tums
The captain, of, course, has a broom for a horse
as he leads them off to war
Little feet will retreat if they meet defeat
when they charge the kitchen door
It’s Waterloo for Napoleon
if he tries to cross the linoleum
Hip-hooray
clear the way
for the big tin pan parade!
---The Tin Pan Parade, 1927

I have memories of recesses playing 'Communists and Capitalists' back around the time I was in Fourth Grade. I don't believe I knew what either of those groups was at the time and these days the people declaring themselves one or the other seem to get it wrong, too.
That was suggested to me by a friend of mine who's far more into "Doctor Who" than I ever was. The bathroom plunger was easy, but I was at a loss for the gun. So the first time we see "Oscar," his right hand is hidden behind another character. He said "That kid has to be carrying a whisk in his other hand." Voila!
