Lyrics Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon

Jungle Work

Lear jet S.W.A.T team

On a midnight run

With the M16

And the Ingram gun

We parachute in

We parachute out

"Death from above"

We're screaming now

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

Strength and muscle and jungle work

Three young men

In a Russian truck

With a little MAC-10

Sent 'em running to the huts

These few young men

The few who dare

To battle in hell

Le Mercenaire!

Strength and muscle and jungle work
