seems like it's do it or die
So please read them closely
When you've learnt them be sure
They're specially flavored with burgundy,
Twelve sheets of foolscap,
We hit the jungle just as
Our maps showed no rainfall
All the boys were depressed
Who gives birth to more farmhands,
Fifteen was chosen because
Seven because he was blind
I got the job because I was so mean
While somehow appearing so kind
Drifting about through the
With a cauliflower ear for the birds
And this is the sound that they heard
Back at headquarters khaki
File under 'Futile', that should
give you its main point of reference
what with pythons and then deadly flies
But to them it's a picnic,
Thirteen was chosen because of his luck
Eleven because of his feet
One got signed up for exceptional pluck
Another because he was mute
With a gelatin eye on the stripes
The Squadron assembled what
And this is the sound that they heard
There were milkmen every morning
Never used to be that way.
