Ten little paratroops

Свистнуто из Tommy Atkins Society


“Ten Little Paratroops”
(Tune, Ball of Kirrimuir)


Number one was first to go, he was first to jump,
His chute never opened, so he never felt the bump!

(chorus, “Singing, whull dae this time. Wha’ dae it noo,
Yinna did it last time, canna dae it noo”.)

The next man to jump, he was number two,
He saw what happened to Number one and now he’s RTU.

Chorus.

Number three was next to go, he didn’t bend his knee,
He fractured both his thighs and he’s category E.

Chorus.

The next man to go, he was number four,
He didn’t hook up his static line before he left the door.

Chorus.

After him the next man, he was number five,
His parachute opened so he reached the ground alive.

Chorus.

Number Six was next to go, he didn’t do too well,
He fell right out his harness and he went right down to hell.

Chorus.

The next man to go, he was number seven,
He came down on his head and he went right up to Heaven.

Chorus.

The next man to go, he was number eight,
His parachute developed, but opened much too late.

Chorus.

The next man to go, he was number nine,
His arms and legs got tangled up in his rigging line.

Chorus.

The last man to jump, he was number ten,
He had a Roman Candle so he’ll never jump again.

Chorus.
