proper brummie kid
Maida barracks in the sixties square bashing one two three
A sergeant & a corporal screaming orders down on me
Weeks of basic training ways of making you a man
Trainasium test of strength & nerve that is who I am
Basic Wales & mountain runs they think you are a sheep
Shouting out their orders disruptive lack of sleep
The log race & the milling a gruelling test of you
Painful exhaustive training finally gets you through
Abingdon in the hangers as we dangled from up high
Loading us into a basket hoisted up into the sky
Blackburn Beverley aircraft seemingly rather slow
Shuffle along in your harness & out the door you go !
