Youve heard about the dirty dozen and the tales of the green beret
The men that sank the bismarck and the fighting c.i. a.
But if youre talkin danger then one name comes to mind
Make an unwise decision call the wonderful 99
It was way back in the nineties a dollar still was worth a dime
An international coincidence made newsweek and time
A hundred brave men or women, give or take a few
Got started on a friday night by monday they were back in school
Two kings, a pope, and the president of the denver savings and loan
Made and unwise decision, wished theyd stayed at home
A missile launching pad didnt go as planned
The wonderful 99 were called to deliver it by hand
99 brave soldiers in 99 pair of keds
Lookin for a motel 6 with 99 twin beds
A place to park a missile an watch some cable news
Maybe rent the top gun video and grimace like tom cruise
Now theres 99 yellow ribbons around the old oak tree
Most of its top secret, the rest is history
Its been a couple weeks now, how the memory fades with time
Of an unwise decision and the wonderful 99 Send these lyrics to a friend: |
