Hi!
This is Captain Jack!

Do you really follow me into the light?
Drill instructor's on, drill instructor's on my side

Come together, friends, we have to take this chance
All for one
Come together, friends, we gotta take this chance tonight

Forward march!

Drill instructor, tell me what to do (Drill instructor tell me what to do)
I'm your man, I will follow only you (I'm your man, I will follow only you)
See us making love all through the night (See us making love all through the night)
That's the reason why drill instructor loves to fight (That's the reason why drill instructor loves to fight)

All for one
Come together, friends, we gotta take this chance tonight)

C/130 rolling down the strip (C/130 rolling down the strip)
Airborn lady's going to take a little trip (Airborn lady's going to take a little trip)
Jumping out planes in the midnight hour (Jumping out planes in the midnight hour)
Soon as we land, this place is ours (As soon as we land, this place is ours)
