They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam

From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando, involved again

They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam

First rule is "the laws of Germany"
Second rule is "be nice to mommy"
Third rule is "don't talk to Commies"
Fourth rule is "eat kosher salamis"

They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam

From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando, involved again

They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam

First rule is "the laws of Germany"
Second rule is "be nice to mommy"
Third rule is "don't talk to Commies"
Fourth rule is "eat kosher salamis"

    most likely just about commandos involved in secret operations, but like many other ramone's songs, it could be making fun of Johnny Ramone's strict, almost authoritarian leadership of the band.
