[Verse 1]
Learjet S.W.A.T. team on a midnight run
With the M-16 and the Ingram gun
We parachute in, we parachute out
"Death from above," we're screaming now
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Strength and muscle and jungle work
[Verse 3]
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!
[Chorus]
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
(Mach Schnell!!)
[Instrumental Break]
