Gunship Calypso Lyrics by John Edmond

TROOPIESONGS - complete 50th Anniversary Edition

0

[Chorus]
La la la la la la la la
We don't sail sailing ships-oh
La la la la la la la la
But we sing the gunship calypso
[repeat 3x]
We are sailors of a kind, we sail across the sky
Sails are made from a chopper blade and the rotor takes us high
Captain is the jockey and the 1st mate is the tech
Like a nautical man he fires the cannon, downwards from the deck
[Chorus]X2
We are like a Man-O-War, whenever we attack
We've been tipped as a mercy ship, when we do the Kaza back
We don't sail no pirate ship, but the crew is wild and wooly
The loot is best in our treasure chest is a case of old chebully
[Chorus]X3
[Lyrics transcribed by The Ghost of Ian Smith in June of 2019]
