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
- Harold will be there
