Lyrics

C130 rolling down the street

[Coy name] warriors took a little trip

Stand up, hook it up, shuffle to the door

Jump right out by the count of four ya
Oh wa eh ya

Left right eh ya

Oh wa eh ya

Left right left
If my shoot doesn’t open wide

I got a spare one by my side

If that one doesn’t open too

Oh hard ground I am coming for you
If I land in the Russian Front

Bury me with a Russian gun

If I land in the Vietnam War

Send me back to Singapore
If I land in Sentosa,

Send me back by cable car

If I land in the Old Folk’s Home

Pack me up and send me home
Tell my mom I’ve done my best

Now it’s time for me to rest

Tell my girl I’ve done my best

Silver wings upon my chest
