John Prine - Wonderful 99 слова песни
Youve heard about the dirty dozen and the tales of the green beretThe men that sank the bismarck and the fighting c.i. a.But if youre talkin danger then one name comes to mindMake an unwise decision call the wonderful 99It was way back in the nineties a dollar still was worth a dimeAn international coincidence made newsweek and timeA hundred brave men or women, give or take a fewGot started on a friday night by monday they were back in schoolTwo kings, a pope, and the president of the denver savings and loanMade and unwise decision, wished theyd stayed at homeA missile launching pad didnt go as plannedThe wonderful 99 were called to deliver it by hand99 brave soldiers in 99 pair of kedsLookin for a motel 6 with 99 twin bedsA place to park a missile an watch some cable newsMaybe rent the top gun video and grimace like tom cruiseNow theres 99 yellow ribbons around the old oak treeMost of its top secret, the rest is historyIts been a couple weeks now, how the memory fades with timeOf an unwise decision and the wonderful 99
