The Whenwe Song -

When we crossed the mighty 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

Wit the guts of Douglas Badar

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 worthless anniversary

They don’t forget their May Day, V-E and V-J Day

They don’t forget, so why in the hell should we?

When we crossed the world embargos

And we still got our cargos

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’s just a trifle

For a girl to tote a rifle

'Twas just a daily routine in our land…

They don’t forget their Poppy Day, the Battle of the Boyne

And many worthless anniversary

They don’t forget their May Day, V-E and V-J Day

They don’t forget so why in the hell should we?

When we buried trooper Brading

And did our last parading

When we moved the Troopie statue to the south…

When we joined the other nations

We retain 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 worthless anniversary

They don’t forget their May Day, V-E and V-J Day

They don’t forget so why in the hell should we?
