spoken: "dad
spoken: "dad?
 you know what I wanna be when I grow up?
" 'no son, not really.'
 -----
i wanna be a buccaneer and sail the 7 seas;
 and see the jolly roger a wavin' in the breeze.
 my son, I need to tell you;
 you' re a hundred years too late;
 there must be +someone else around that you can imitate;
 now i've heard about the smugglin' years, high in vietnam;
 they' re a bunch of army pilots, the hardest 'guns' around a-singin' 
chorus
load me down with rockets boys, macine guns, ammo too;
 we' re gonna hit old charlie, and keep hittin til he's through.
we flew dak pek valley, we saw old charlie there;
 charlie saw the buccaneers, and knew he didn't have a prayer;
 then came our old friend, polie klang, the same thing happened there, old charlie fled to the border, and there hid in his lair
there's the village of phu tang, the buccaneers took it one day;
 old charlie was drinkin' his rice wine, his women were makin hay;
 he jumped in hishole and grabbed his gun, and then the bullets flew;
 six gun, five-six were hit that day, but did old charlie pay!
our rockets hit old charlie and spoiled all his day;
 his rice was scattered to the wind, none could get away.
 he jumped on his bike,and away he went, but the 'bucs' made one more pass he reached around, and then he found, he didn't have his----bicycle, singin---
my son when you are old enough to join the army too remember what I told you, these stories are all true--
last chorus
dad, I wanna be a pilot, like the buccaneers, army aviation will be my career
---------------------------------
' the smugglin years' (in vietnam)--because of the nature of this song, this would undoubtedly relate to an incident of stretching military regulations rather than criminal activity on the part of the crew.
 6 gun, 5-6, would be relating to the call signs of the 2 ships, or the designation/position of the ac, aircraft commander.
 to set the song off the tune 'blow ye winds of the morning',
a traditional sea song, rather than a chanty.
 this song was sung by the 'merrymen' at aust 161 recce flight club at nui dat.
