Well it was a techno D-day out on Omaha beach 
I was a reserve D.J. playing Colombian mountain beats 
Andres Landero, ay mi sombrero 
Hold onto your hats, we gotta go

Because the noise inspectors with the sound detectors 
Were coming on down the beach 
And the counselors wanna pounce on us
There we go disturbing the peace 
And the Cornish sun had only just begun
To sink into the western sea 
So to keep it low so the cops don't know
I spun my Harry Belafonte 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is all about free speech

The day became night by the campfire light
The crowd began testifying
Using the headphones for a mike, for tenor saw's delight
I sang another new sound is dying

On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Where the long arm of the law cannot reach
On a techno D-day, a techno D-day
We waited on Omaha beach
We waited and we waited

Behind me in the booth was the techno crew
Ready with the crucial beats
Still, they said keep it low, spin your calypso
We're waiting for Babylon to retreat
The crowd was ready to riot, they were sick of being quiet
We're still waiting for the signal to go
Then the walkie talkie gear spat out the all clear
And the boys hit the decks in full flow, go, g-g-go

It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
Way out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is all about free speech
Techno D-day, a techno D-day
Way out on Omaha beach
Where the troops believe in a life of freedom
And this is about free speech
Go, go techno D-day, go techno D-day
Sometimes you have to get out of reach
It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day
And this is all about free speech
