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 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"

    "Commando" was written by Dee Dee about commandos in Vietnam and Germany, probably from his love of war movies. Vietnam was still in the news back then.
