Fight -- ing sol -- diers from the sky
Fear -- less men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Ber -- et
Sil -- ver wings u -- pon their chest
These are men, the Neth -- er -- lands' best
One hun -- dred men will test to -- day
But on -- ly three win the Green Ber- et
