The Airborne Song

"The Airborne Song" was picked up by Kiwi Gunners in the 1980's when they worked alongside the US Artillery's, "Red Dragons" (Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 13th Field Artillery, 25th 'Tropic Lightning' Division). It was very popular and always sung while double marching.

Airborne! Airborne! have you heard!
(repeat)
We're gonna jump from a big assed bird!
(repeat)
C130 on the line!
(repeat)
Every-body's do-ing fine!
(repeat)
Stand Up! Hook up! shuffle to the door!
(repeat)
Jump right out and count to four!
(repeat)
If my chute don't open wide!
(repeat)
I've got another one by my side!
(repeat)
And, if that chute don't open too!
(repeat)
Look out world, I'm a-commin' thru!
(repeat)
Tell my girl I done my best!
(repeat)
And pin my wings upon my chest!
(repeat)
Singin' OhOhOhOhOh!!!
(repeat)
Singin' OhOhOhOhOh!!!
(repeat)
Airborne!!!
(repeat)
Airborne!!!
(repeat)
Kill!!!
(repeat)
Kill!!!
(repeat)
All the way!!!
(repeat)
All the way!!!
(repeat)
