  • Trained in combat, hand to hand
  • Men who fight by night and day
  • Courage deep, from the Green Beret

  • One hundred men we'll test today
  • But only three win the Green Beret

  • Her Green Beret has met his fate
  • He has died for those oppressed
  • Leaving her this last request

  • Make him one of America's best
  • He'll be a man they'll test one day
  • Have him win the Green Beret

    I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no.

    I ain't no fortunate one, no.

    Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
    ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
    And when you ask them, how much should we give,
    oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,

    It ain't me, it ain't me,
    I ain't no military son, SON, NO
    It ain't me, it ain't me,
    I ain't no fortunate one, NO NO

    It ain't me, it ain't me,
    I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,

    I ain't no fortunate son, son son son
