- Commando Lyrics / with translationsThey do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando involved again
They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
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'
They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando, involved again
They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
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'
They get them ready for Vietnam
From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando involved again
They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
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'
They do their best, they do what they can
From old Hanoi to East Berlin
Commando, involved again
They do their best, they do what they can
They get them ready for Vietnam
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'
