Rank and Style

Loyal Army Clothing Store Opens

Left! Right! Left! Right! Left!

Little soldiers head on down
To the newest store in town.

Loyal Army makes its debut
Right on Melrose Avenue.

“Kawaii” means cute in Japanese.
That’s the style of its bright, bold tees.

Clever sayings that don’t offend.
Kiddos will tell all their friends.

Pencil cases shaped like candy.
Me, oh my, how fine and dandy.

Long-sleeve onesies covered in fruit,
With burgers and fries are a hoot.

Baby jammies kimono style
Guaranteed to make you smile.

All the goods are super soft.
This is where we sound off.
