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.
