The Whenwe Song
Lyrics
When we, when we, when we, when we
When we, when we, when we, when we
When we, when we, when we, when, when we
When we crossed the muddy Pungwe
The gooks were ruddy angry
When we caught them with their pants down on parade
When we visited Chimoio
They weren't full of joy-o
Cause' we messed up all the killing plans they made
When we flew beneath the radar
With the guts of Douglas Playdar
When we dropped the fireworks at Westlands Farm
When we popped into Lusaka
And made a quick departure
Cause we weren't there to visit or to charm
They don't forget their Poppy day
The battle of the Boyne
And many a worthless anniversary
They don't their May Day
VE and VJ day
They don't forget so why in the hell should we?
When we crossed those road embargoes
And we still got our cargoes
Like Boeing 720s and the like
When we got a note of thanks
For the great big Russian tanks
That we hijacked somewhere in the pale moonlight
When we made our own munitions and security inventions
When we sent the kids to school with gun in hand
When we thought it just a trifle
For a gold Datota Rifle
T'was just a daily routine in our land
They don't forget their Poppy day
The battle of the Boyne
And many a worthless anniversary
They don't their May Day
VE and VJ day
They don't forgot so why in the hell should we?
When we buried Trooper Brayding
And did our last parading
When we moved the Troopie Statue to the south
When we joined the other nations we retained associations
And suggest that any critic shut his mouth
When we stop just to remember
On the 11th of November
When we think of fallen comrades on that day
When we think of all the sad times
We think of all the glad times
Rhodesians never die, that's what they say
They don't forget their Poppy day
The battle of the Boyne
And many a worthless anniversary
They don't their May Day
VE and VJ day
They don't forgot so why in the hell should we?
When we, when we, when we, when we
When we, when we, when we, when we
When we, when we, when we, when, when we
