Learjet[1] S.W.A.T. [2] team
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun [3]
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 [4] in hand
Where the gun is law
From Ovamboland [5]
To Nicaragua

Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Three young men
In a Russian truck
With a little M10
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
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
