Jungle Work Lyrics

Jungle Work lyrics

By Jorge Calderon and Warren Zevon 1980 Zevon Music BMI



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
