These are your orders - seems like it's do it or die 
    A                        F#                
So please read them closely, When you've read them be sure that you eat them up - 
E 
They're specially flavoured with Burgundy, Tizer and Rye

We hit the jungle, Just as it starts to monsoon:

I got the job because I was so mean, while somehow appearing so kind. 
E 
Drifting about through the cauliflower trees with a cauliflower ear for the birds, 
A                                               F# 
The squadron assembled what senses they had and this is the sound that they heard...
