Lyrics

Commando [It's Alive]

(One, two, three, four)

[Verse]

They do their best, do what they can

To get them ready for Vietnam

From old Hanoi to East Berlin

Commando - involved again

They do their best, do what they can

To get them ready for Vietnam

[Chorus]

First rule is: The laws of Germany

Second rule is: Be nice to Mommy

Third rule is: Don't talk to commies

Fourth rule is: Eat kosher salamis

[Verse]

They do their best, do what they can

To get them ready for Vietnam

From old Hanoi to East Berlin

Commando - involved again

They do their best, do what they can

To get them ready for Vietnam

[Chorus]

First rule is: The laws of Germany

Second rule is: Be nice to Mommy

Third rule is: Don't talk to commies

Fourth rule is: Eat kosher salamis
