"Is everybody happy?" cried the sargent looking up,
Our hero bravely answered "Yes", and then they stood him up,
He jumped right out into the blast
His static line unhooked,
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more

Now there was blood upon the risers,
There were brains up in the chute,
Intestants wewe a hanging from his paratrooper boots,
They picked him up still in the chute and pored him from his boots,
And he aint gonna jump no more

Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
And he aint gonna jump no more

Now the letter they sent home to his wife and baby son
"Madam we regret to say your troopers life is done"
"But hold your head up high his name is written in the sky"
And he aint gonna jump no more

Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
And he aint gonna jump no more

Now the baby son grew up and said "A troopers lifes for me"
"A jumper like my daddy was is all i wanna be"
"I only hope that i can jump just half as well as he"
And he aint gonna jump no more

Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
And he aint gonna jump no more

Now they sent him to afganistan and then into iraq
The bullet that came speeding out went deep into his back
He hit the ground but his grenade found enemy armtrack
And he aint gonna jump no more

Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
Gory Gory what a helluva way to die
And he aint gonna jump no more
