Rhodesian bush war song

Lyrics

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

We are sailors of a kind

We sail across the sky

Sails are made from a chopper blade

And the rotor takes us high

Post-Chorus

The rotor takes us high

The rotor takes us high

Spinning

Spinning

High

Verse 1

Captain is the jockey

And the first mate is the teck

Like a nautical man

He fires the cannon downwards from the deck

Iron wings

Iron wind

Iron weight

Pre-Chorus

Watch the steel birds fly

See the metal machines fly

High in the clouds

High above crowds

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

We are sailors of a kind

We sail across the sky

Sails are made from a chopper blade

And the rotor takes us high

Post-Chorus

The rotor takes us high

The rotor takes us high

Spinning

Spinning

High

Verse 2

We are like a Man-O-War

Whenever we attack

We have been tipped as a mercy ship

When we do the Kaza back

Savage souls

Silent storms

Sharp steel

Pre-Chorus

Watch the steel birds fly

See the metal machines fly

High in the clouds

High above crowds

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

We are sailors of a kind

We sail across the sky

Sails are made from a chopper blade

And the rotor takes us high

Bridge

We don't sail no pirate ship

The crew is wild

The crew is wooly

Loot is in the chest

Chebully for the best

Gold for the brave

Gold for the bold

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

We are sailors of a kind

We sail across the sky

Sails are made from a chopper blade

And the rotor takes us high
