(Warren Zevon)

Lear jet S.W.A.T. team

On a midnight run

With the M16

And the Ingram gun

We parachute in

We parachute out

"Death from above"

We're screaming now



Where the pay is good

And the risk is high

It's understood

We'll do or die

Sten gun in hand

Where the gun is law

From Ovamboland

To Nicaragua



Strength and muscle and jungle work



Three young men

In a Russian truck

With a little Mac10

Sent 'em running to the huts

A few young men

The few who dare

To battle in hell

Le Mercenaire!



Strength and muscle and jungle work
