Selectees gonna take a little trip, *
Mission Top Secret, destination unknown, *
Don’t even know if their coming home, *
When our plane gets up so high, *
Selectee’s gonna dance in the sky, *
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door, *
Jump right out and count to four, *
If my main don’t open wide, *
I got a reserve by my side, *
If that one should fail me too, *
Look out ground, I’m a-coming through, *
If I die on the old drop zone, *
Box me up and ship me home, *
Bury speakers all around my head, *
So I can rock with the Grateful Dead, *
Bury speakers all around my toes, *
So I can rock with Axel Rose, *
If I die while before I’m done, *
Tell the Chief’s that this was fun, *
If I die on Pinning Day, *
Tell St Peter get out of the way, *
Put my Anchors on my chest, *
And tell my Mom I did my best, *
