green on, we are airborne! AIRBORNE SONG

All you lads wanna join the mob just come along with me
Here?s some choccy biscuits and a lovely cup of tea
Forget the RAF the Royal Marines or the Navy
We think you?re big and tough to be in the Airborne Infantry

Got of the bus in Aldershot in 1964
They marched us on a parade ground where my father stood before
Ole Drummie Williams he drilled the squad it seemed like half a day
I?ve never seen such a motley crew, and then I heard him say

Green on we?re Airborne and we know we are the best
When you put that beret on you know you?ve passed the test
We?ll go anywhere we?ll fight anyone we?re always in the muck
They always send the Para?s in cause we don?t give a ? Toss

They handed me a rifle and a crap hat for me head
A uniform that didn?t fit and plywood for me bed
They woke us up at the break of dawn and marched us round the square.
I wished that I was home in bed or anywhere else than there.

I tabbed across to Brecon with a Bergen on me back
They marched us up to Penny Fan and then they marched us back
You should of joined the REME that?s what ole Drummie said
You?ve still got 25 miles to go before you go to bed

Green on we?re Airborne and we know we are the best
When you put that beret on you know you?ve passed the test
We?ll go anywhere we?ll fight anyone we?re always in the muck
They always send the Para?s in cause we don?t give a?Monkeys

It started out in Ringway 60 years ago
All those boys that volunteered for jumping through the hole
Ole Winnie and Boy Browning they watched with all there brass
But they weren?t the ones that were jumping out and landing on there arse

Green on we?re Airborne and we know we are the best
When you put that beret on you know you?ve passed the test
We?ll go anywhere we?ll fight anyone we?re always in the muck
They always send the Para?s in cause we don?t give a ? Toss




They kicked me out of Fat Albert with a parachute on my back
The PTI said don?t worry lad if it don?t work bring it back
I felt the jolt my nuts went up the chute went round and round
At least I didn?t mess me pants before I hit the ground

I went for Pre-Selection with a squad of 25
They hounded out the weakest and the one?s that couldn?t survive=2 0
They handed me me beret and took me by the hand
A welcome to the Maroon Machine be proud of that young man

Green on we?re Airborne and we know we are the best
When you put that beret on you know you?ve passed the test
We?ll go anywhere we?ll fight anyone we?re always in the muck
They always send the Para?s in cause we don?t give a ? Monkeys

They sent us into battle we took it in our stride
A shouting Whoa Mohamed we all jumped in with pride The Royal Marines they stood and watched they seemed so mystified
Don?t worry lads we?ll sought them out you run away and hide

Green on we?re Airborne and we know we are the best
When you put that beret on you know you?ve passed the test
We?ll go anywhere we?ll fight anyone we?re always in the muck
They always send the Para?s in cause we don?t give a ?Monkeys

They always send the Para?s in because we don?t give a Toss

They always send the Para?s in because we don?t give a ??
