1 Down by the river

Down by the river

Took a little walk

Ran into some terrorist

Had a little talk

Push them, yah!

Push them, yah!

Into the river

Let them drown

We don’t need no terrorists

Hanging around

Hey don’t be a fool (hey hey!)

Somebody said we are number 2

But we are number 1… NCC!

2 When the cold wind blows

In the early morning run/march/row/jump

With a beret/full pack/paddle/parachute on my back

And an aching in my heart

And my shirt is full of sweat

I’m a long, long way from home

And I miss my lover so

In the early morning march/run/row/jump

When the cold wind blows x5

3 Green beret

Upon her head

She wears a yellow ribbon

She wears a yellow ribbon in the merry mind of me, yah!

And if you ask her

For whom she wears the ribbon

She wears it for the soldiers who wears a green beret, yah!

Green beret!

Green beret!

She wears it for the soldiers who wears a green beret

Bang, bang left foot!

I wanna hear your left foot!

Dig, dig your left boot!

I wanna hear your left boot!

Dedication!

Motivation!

8 In the eastern part of Singapore

In the eastern/western/northern part of Singapore

There’s a place where belong to

10 Training to be soldiers

Training to be soldiers

Fight for our land

Once in our life

Two years of our time

Have you ever wondered

Why must we serve

Because we love our land

And we want it to be free, to be free, yah!

Looking all around us

People everywhere

Children having fun

But we are holding guns

Stand up

Be on your guard

Come on everybody

Do your part

Do it for our nation

Do it for our Singapore, YAH!

11 Airborne

C-130 rolling down the street

Airborne troopers take a little trip

Stand up hook up shuffle to the door

Jump right down at the count of four

If my first chute doesn’t open wide

I still got another by my side

If my second one doesn’t open too

I am going for a jolly good ride

If I land on the Russian front

Bury me with a Russian gun

If I land on the Vietnam war

Send me back to Singapore

If I land on an old folks’ home

Box me up and send me home

Tell my mother I’ve done my best

Silver wings upon my chest

Tell my girl I’ve done my best

Now it’s time for me to rest

12 A is for airborne

A is for airborne

I is for in the sky

R is for rough and tough

B is for born to fly

O is for on the go

R is for ranger

N is for never quit

E is for everything

Aiyo-aiyo-ai-ai-yo-ah!

Aiyo-aiyo-ai-ai-yo-ah!

13 We are BPNCC

(Chorus)

We are BPNCC

We are the best in the NCC

Once I used to eat chocolate

Now I have to clean toilet

(Repeat chorus)

Once I used to eat orange

Now I have to go for range

(Repeat chorus)

Once I used to strip my girl

Now I have to strip rifle

(Repeat chorus)

Once I used to watch TV

Now I have to do PT

(Repeat chorus)

14 They say that in the army

They say that in the army

The food is mighty nice

You ask for curry chicken

They give you chow tar rice

They say that in the army

The pillows are mighty fine

You ask for cotton pillow

They give you porcupines

They say that in the army

The officers are mighty nice

You ask for captain Bala

They give you banana

They say that in the army

The pay is very nice

They give you a hundred dollars

And take back ninety-nine

They say that in the army

The rifles are mighty fine

But when you squeeze the trigger

The bullet flies behind

15 Fruit Song

Banana, banana hanging on a tree

Short, short one; long, long one

Which one do you want?

I got long, long one

He got short, short one

If you want long, long one

Come and pluck my one

Papaya, papaya hanging on a tree

Big, big one; small, small one

Which one do you want?

I want big, big one

You want small, small one

If you want the big, big one

Come and grab her one

Rambutan, rambutan hanging on a tree

Hairy one, no hair one

Which one do you want?

I want hairy one

You want the no hair one

If you want no hair one

Come and pluck my one

16 I asked my girl

I asked my girl

To take a walk

To take a walk

Just a little walk

Went past Mandarin

To Centrepoint

We had our lunch

At McDonalds

We had fillet

And apple pie

We shared a cup

Of lemon lime

Holding her hands

Look into her eyes

I asked her to

Be my valentine

There was one night

There was no light

There was no light

So we used torchlight

Holding her hands

Look into her eyes

I asked my girl

To be my future wife

When I book in

I felt lovesick

I cannot eat

I cannot sleep

Pick up handphone

Called her number

Her mama said

She’s not at home

I want to cry

I want to die

After some time

I changed my mind

I told myself

Oh what the f***

Next time book out

I try my luck

There was this girl

She wears no bra

Her b**bs so big

Can be seen from far

I asked her out

She said ok la

So off we go

To hotel Shangri-La

17 Rock ‘n’ Roll

I am rolling baby

Just rolling down the line

I am rolling baby

Just rolling down the line

So you better get out of my way now

Before I’m rolling over you

Just a little (HUH!) a little (HAH!)

A little rock ‘n’ roll

Just a kinda (HUH!) a kinda (HAH!)

Kinda suit your soul

So you better get out of my way now

Before I’m rolling over you

Just charming all around

I’m a lady killer

Just charming all around

So you better get out of my way now

Before I’m charming over her

Just a little (HUH!) a little (HAH!)

A little rock ‘n’ roll

Just a kinda (HUH!) a kinda (HAH!)

Just flying all around

So you better get out of my way now

Before I’m flying over you

Just a little (HUH!) a little (HAH!)

A little rock ‘n’ roll

Kinda suit your soul

So you better get out of my way now

Before I’m flying over you
