Airborne 

(Echo after I/C)

When we get to heaven,

St Peter's gonna say,

How you get to heaven,

How you earn your pa-ay? 

(Echo after I/C)

I reply with a little bit of anger,

Earn my pay as an airborne ranger,

Living a life of fun and danger. 

(Echo after I/C)

Hey! Hey! What you say now?

Airborne rangers on the way now. 

(Echo after I/C)

C130 rolling down the streets,

Airborne rangers take a little trip.

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,

Jump right out at the count of 4.

1, 2, 3, 4,  

(together)

Airborne! 

(Echo after I/C)

If my chute doesn't open wide,

I've got another one by my side.

If this one doesn't open too,

I'm going down for a jolly good ride. 

(Echo after I/C)

If I land in the Russian Front,

Bury me with a Russian gun.

If I land in the Vietnam War,

Send me back to Singapore.

If I land in Sentosa,

Send me back by cable car.

If I land in the old folks' home,

Box me up and send me home. 

(Echo after I/C)

Tell my mum I've done my best,

Silver wings upon my chest.

Tell my girl I've done my best,

Now it's time for me to rest.

Cold Wind Blows 

(together)

In the early morning run,

With a backpack on my bag,

With an aching in my heart,

And my shirt is full of sweat.

[ Chorus ]

In the early morning row,

With a paddle in my hands,

With an aching in my heart,

And my shirt is full of sweat.

[ Chorus ]

In the early morning run,

With a bagpack on my back,

With an aching in my heart,

And my shirt is full of sweat.

[ Chorus ]

In the early morning shoot,

With a rifle in my hands,

With an aching in my heart,

And my palms are very wet.

[ Chorus ]

In the early morning row,

With a paddle in my hands,

With an aching in my heart,

And my paddle is very wet.

[ Chorus ]

In the early morning jump,

With a parachute on my back

With an aching in my heart,

And I feel a little scared.

[ Chorus ]

[ Chorus ]

I'm a long long way from home,

And I miss my lover so.

In the early morning ( Activity ),

When the cold wind blows,

When the cold wind blows,

When the cold wind blows,

When the cold wind blows,

When the cold wind blows.

Fight for right and not for wrong.

Purple Light

With my rifle and my buddies and me-ee-ee!

Sadist Cheer 

(Echo after I/C)

Drop a bomb and kill the people,

Drop an A-bomb in the square.

Do it on a Friday morning,

When the idiots are at prayer. 

(Echo after I/C)

Throw some candy in the courtyard,

Watch the children gather round.

Load and cock your MG rifle,

Hose those little suckers down. 

(Echo after I/C)

Fire missiles at the schoolhouse,

When the teachers ring the bell.

Watch the children die in laughter,

As the schoolhouse burns to hell. 

(Echo after I/C)

Kick the old man off the wheelchair,

Whack a grenade in his face.

Push the pregnant off the buses,

Let their sorrows make my day. 

Training to be Soldiers 

(Echo after I/C)

Training to be soldiers,

Fight for our la-and,

Once in our lives,

Two years of our time.

~[ Chorus ]~ 

(Echo after I/C)

Training in the jungle,

Spiders everywhere,

Wild boars having fun,

While we are carrying guns.

~[ Chorus ]~ 

(Echo after I/C)

Looking all around us,

People everywhere,

Children having fun,

While we are carrying guns. 

Chorus

Have you ever wondered,

Why we must serve,

Because we love our land

And we want it to be free

To be free... YA!Â
