The Gunship Calypso Songtext
von John Edmond

La la la la la la la la la
We don′t sail sailing ships-O!
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.

La la la la la la la la la
We don't sail sailing ships-O
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.

We are sailors of a kind, we sail across the sky.
Sails are made from chopper blade
And a rotor takes us high
The captain is the jockey
And the first mate is the tech.
Like a nautical man, he fires the cannon
Downwards from the deck.


La la la la la la la la la
We don′t sail sailing ships-O
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.

La la la la la la la la la
We don't sail sailing ships-O
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.

We are like a man-o-war whenever we attack.
We've been tipped as a mercy ship
When we do the casevac.
We don′t sail no pirate ship
But the crew is wild and wooly,
The loot that′s best in our treasure chest
Is a case of cold chibuli.

La la la la la la la la la
We don't sail sailing ships-O
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.


La la la la la la la la la
We don′t sail sailing ships-O
La la la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso.
