66 Rifle Song from Aden

sent in by
Rabbi Burns
RAF Regiment

Racing across the Bondoo 70 miles an hour
We can't change up and we can't change down
The gearbox is in but it's upside down
For all the RAF mechanics are a load of stupid clowns
We are the Royal Rockapes we are a bleeding shower

Early in the morning Flight is on parade
On comes the Flight Commander to the Donkey Serenade 
Our Flight Sergeant shouts Right Dress
You should have seen the bleeding mess
We are the Royal Rockapes we are a bleeding shower

Now our tour is over to Blighty we will go
No more climbing Sham Sham from Aden we must go
All aboard the troop ship singing as we go 
No more stinking Aden we are happy though
We are the Royal Rockapes we are a bleeding shower

When we get to Blighty plenty of beer and bints
No more Rockape Bullshit we'll just go on the piss
Then we'll get some jankers but we don't give a shit
For we are the Royal Rockapes we are a bleeding shower

Then it's on the square at Catterick with 
SWO Danny Gord shouting at full bore 
That "man" march proudly for we have to show 
We are the Royal Rockapes we are the best 
That we are not a bleeding shower.
