You've heard about the dirty dozen and the tales of the green beret   The men that sank the bismarck and the fighting c.i. a.   But if you're talkin' danger then one name comes to mind   Make an unwise decision call the wonderful 99      It was way back in the nineties a dollar still was worth a dime   An international coincidence made newsweek and time   A hundred brave men or women, give or take a few   Got started on a friday night by monday they were back in school      Two kings, a pope, and the president of the denver savings and loan   Made and unwise decision, wished they'd stayed at home   A missile launching pad didn't go as planned   The wonderful 99 were called to deliver it by hand      99 brave soldiers in 99 pair of keds   Lookin' for a motel 6 with 99 twin beds   A place to park a missile an watch some cable news   Maybe rent the top gun video and grimace like tom cruise      Now there's 99 yellow ribbons around the old oak tree   Most of it's top secret, the rest is history   It's been a couple weeks now, how the memory fades with time   Of an unwise decision and the wonderful 99
