Verse 1:

A                                      F#
These are your orders - seems like it's do it or die
      A                                        F#
So please read them closely, When you've read them be sure that you eat them up -
E
They're specially flavoured with Burgundy, Tizer and Rye
A                                                              F#
Twelve sheets of foolscap: don't ask me why.

Verse 2:

A                           F#
We hit the jungle, Just as it starts to monsoon:
        A                                       F#
Our maps showed no rainfall. All the boys were depressed by this circumstance
E
"Trust in the weather" said less agricultural men
                  A                                                             F#
Who gives birth to more farmhands, don't ask me why.

Chorus:

A                                                                  F#
Fifteen was chosen because he was dumb, seven because he was blind:
A                                                         F#
I got the job because I was so mean, while somehow appearing so kind.
E
Drifting about through the cauliflower trees with a cauliflower ear for the birds,
A                                                                                F#
The squadron assembled what senses they had and this is the sound that they heard...

Instrumental:

A E D A

Verse 3:

A                                  F#
Back at headquarters, khaki decisions are made
A                             F#
File under "Futile": that should give you its main point of reference
       E
It's all so confusing, what with pythons and then deadly flies
            A                                                  F#
But to them, it's a picnic, don't ask me why.

Chorus:

A                                                                F#
Thirteen was chosen because of his luck, eleven because of his feet:
A                                                                F#
One got signed up for exceptional pluck, another because he was mute.
E
Roaming about through the gelatine swamps with a gelatine eye on the stripes,
A                                                                                F#
The squadron assembled what senses they had and this is the sound that they heard...

Outro:
             A                                                                             E
Back in Blighty, there was you There were milkmen every morning
                                      D                                            A
But these endless shiny trees, never used to be that way.

(repeat)
