The Whenwe Song

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 mayday, VE and VJ day
they don't forgot 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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
When we thought it just a trifle
For a gold Dakota 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 mayday, 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

We 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, thatch what they say

They don't forget their Poppy day, the battle of the Boyne
And many a worthless anniversary
They don't their mayday, 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 we, When when we.

Line 11 is `guts of Douglas Bader`, a British WWII pilot, but Edmond just says it like `Baydar` to rhyme with radar. Line 27 is `for a girl to tote a rifle, t`was just a daily routine un our land.` Line 32 is `Trooper Brading`, referencing Anthony Brading, who was killed in Operation Birch.
