Jungle Work Lyrics
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 out
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 MAC-10
Sent 'em running to the huts
These few young men
The few who dare
To battle in Hell
Le Mercenaire!
Strength and muscle and jungle work.
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
"Death from above"
We're screaming out
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.
In a Russian truck
With a little MAC-10
Sent 'em running to the huts
These few young men
The few who dare
To battle in Hell
Le Mercenaire!
Strength and muscle and jungle work.

Sten gun, not stun gun.
Any ThornBirds, this song is a great one. It took a while to grow on me but it really rocks. Turn it up loud!
Wow. Possibly my least favorite of all Warren Zevon's songs But geniuses can'r be at their utmost talent at all times.
WOW. It was my FAVORITE Zevon song. This song along with many others were, and still are favorites of those of us who serve in the armed forces.
