"The Guns Of Navarone"
Music: Dimitri Tiomkin
Lyrics: Paul Francis Webster

Islands of Greece are green and beautiful,
Green and beautiful,
Where the olive trees grow
In the field below,
But high on the cliffs the guns are hidden there,
Guns are hidden there,
In a cavern of stone,
Guns of Navarone.

There is another isle as beautiful
Where the laurel once bloomed,
Here on this island known as Kheros
Two thousand soldiers are doomed.

Now here is the problem how to rescue them
From a crushing defeat
When high on the cliffs
The guns of Navarone block His Majesty's fleet.

So in the face of odds impossible
Secret saboteurs in a fisherman's skiff
Headed for the cliff.

Six men come to save two thousand men
Two thousand men, the brave and the bold
For whom the bells have tolled.
Six men come to the scale the hills above
Here where the gods are,
Think what the odds are - six men.

Come from the sea with nitroglycerine,
Nitroglycerine and a ladder of rope
And a thing called hope.
Six flies climb the Nazi spider web,
Carefully set the charge and the fuse,
So little time to lose.

Tick-tock, swiftly tick the hands of doom,
Ev'rything reckoned,
Time to the second -
Contact!

Spark and a boom the flames are going up,
Guns are blowing up
Thru the thundering roar
Steam the men-of-war.
Yas-su, God speed to the gallant men, misson accomplished,
Farewell my friends,
And so the legend ends.

Yas-su, toll the bells of Navarone,
Safe be your journey,
Fair wind attends you. Yas-su.

Now on the island green and beautiful
With the morn again,
Hope is born again.
Free!
We shall be free, live and be free!
Free!
Free!

  • I give the guy credit. Making a song like this rhyme and singable must have a been a pain. Ok Mitch good job on that one. Next Challenge? Try to make a song out of "Dude, where's my car?"

  • Always one of my favorite movies and themes by Dimitri Tiomkin. Love the song you can hear every word and it tells the entire story, start to finish. This is why I keep my vinyl! thanks for the post!

  • @lwf51 This was on the original soundtrack record but they left it off the classic film scores of dimitri tiomkin watch the thing if you want to get scared out of your mind

  • Amuggle15: thanks so much for this rendition of "The Guns of Naverone". It's the best.
