Lyrics

 * Who do you call when the chips are down
 * When your back is against the wall
 * When there's no way out
 * And time is running out
 * And you're heading for a fall?


 * High in the sky
 * Suddenly comes the hero
 * You can rely on him


 * Harold the Helicopter, pride of the skies
 * First to the rescue should help be required
 * Harold the Helicopter, brave is he
 * Courage is his name
 * So look to the skies, should danger arise
 * Look to the skies, for Harold will be there


 * He is a natural hero
 * He is guardian of the skies
 * And down through the years there are many tales
 * Of his courage in the skies


 * Out from the clouds
 * Suddenly comes the hero
 * We recognize that sound


 * Harold the Helicopter, pride of the skies
 * First to the rescue should help be required
 * Harold the Helicopter, brave is he
 * Courage is his name
 * So look to the skies, should danger arise
 * Reach for the sky, for Harold will be there


 * Harold the Helicopter, pride of the skies
 * First to the rescue should help be required
 * Harold the Helicopter, brave is he
 * Courage is his name


 * So look to the skies
 * See how he flies
 * You can rely
 * For Harold will be there
