We are the members of the NCC

Loyal and upright we will be

We are ready! We are ready!

To be the best that we can be

Over Land, on the Sea and in the Air

We are the NCC

Serving everyone with humility

With strength and courage in our hearts

Pressing on to victory

We are ready! We are ready!

To be the best that we can be

We are the NCC

Over Land, on the Sea and in the Air

Underlined lyrics: All sing together

Training to be soldiers:

Training to be soldiers

Fight for our la-and

Once in our lives

Two years of our time

Have you ever wondered

Why must we ser-ve

Because we love our land and we want it to be free to be free~~~, HAH!

Looking all around us

People everywhere

Children having fun

While we are holding guns

Have you ever wondered

Why must we ser-ve

Because we love our land and we want it to be free to be free~~~, HAH!

I ask my girl:

I ask my girl

To take a walk

To take a walk

Down Orchard road

By past Mandarin

To Centre Point

We had lunch

At McDonalds

We had fillet

And apple pie

We shared a cup

Of lemon lime

I held her hands

Look into her eyes

I asked my girl

To be my Valentine

There was one night

There was no light

So we used torchlight

Torchlight not bright

So we used star light

Star light not bright

So we used moonlight

Moonlight not bring

So we used purple light

Cold Wind Blows:

Early in the early morning march

With a field pack on my back

And an aching in my heart

And my body full of sweat

I'm a long long way from home

And I miss my mama so

In the early morning march

When the cold wind blows

When the cold wind blows

When the cold wind blows

When the cold wind blows

I know, I know

You have to go

So hurry back home

Cuz I miss you so

Airborne:

A’s for airborne

I’s for in the sky

R’s for rough and tough

B’s for born to fly

O’s for on the go

R’s for ready

N is for never quit

E’s for everything

Down by the ri-ver

Took a little wa-alk

Ran into some terrorist

Had a little ta-alk

Push them

HAH

Kick them

HAH

Into the ri-ver

Let them dro-own

Cuz we don’t need no terrorist

Hanging arah-ound

Left toe Right toe:

Left toe right toe, Keep up the tempo

Left toe right toe wayo, wayo ah

Here we go again

Same old shit again

Up and down this avenue

X more days/hours and we’ll be through

Wa~~~yo wayo wayo wa~~~-yo waha

Any sweat

No sweat

Chicken feet

Haha

All the way

NCC, NCC all the way

We like it here we like it here we found ourselves a home

A home

A home sweet home

C130:

C130 rolling down the strip,

Airborne troopers took a little trip

Stand up hook up shuffle through the door,

jump right out at the count of 4 ya

Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo Ah, Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo

If my chute doesn't open wide

I got another by my side,

If this chute doesn't open too,

then i'm in for a jolly good ride ah

Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo Ah, Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo

If I land in the Russian front,

bury me with a Russian gun

And if I land in the Vietnam war,

send me back to Singapore

Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo Ah, Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo

If I land in Sentosa,

send me back by cable car

And if I land in old folks home,

box me up and send me home ah

Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo Ah, Aiyo Aiyo Aiaiyo

They say that in the army:

They say that in the army, the pay is mighty fine,

They give you 100 dollars, they take back 99

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

They say that in the army, the food is mighty fine

I ask for curry chicken, they give me chaota rice

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

They say that in the army, the rifle mighty fine

But when I pull the trigger, the bullet fly behind

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

They say that in the army, the char bor mighty fine

You ask for Cindy Crawford, they give you Frankenstein

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

They say that in the army, the biscuits mighty fine

When one fell off the table, it killed a friend of mine

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

They say that in the army, the grenade mighty fine

But when you throw the grenade, your PC fly behind

PC I wanna go home, CO wont let me go home,

Mama I wanna go ho-oo-oo-ome

Yellow ribbon:

Around her head she wore a yellow ribbon,

She wore it in the springtime, in the early month of May.

And if you asked on why the heck she wore it,

She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away.

Far away,

Far away.

She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away.

Around the block she pushed a baby carriage,

She pushed it in the springtime, in the early month of May.

And if you asked on why the heck she pushed it,

She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away.

Far away,

Far away.

She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away

Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun.

He kept it in the springtime, in the early month of May.

And if you asked on why the heck he kept it,

He kept it for her soldier who was far, far away.

Far away,

Far away.

He kept it for her soldier who was far, far away.

Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers,

She laid them in the springtime, in the early month of May.

And if you asked on why the heck she laid them,

She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away.

Far away,

Far away.

She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away.
