    Late comer to the chat, but I believe it's actually
    "Hop on the knees of the sergeant, make him
    Ride to the wood with the wind in your hair"

    I may be wrong. Hear what makes you happy, for it is undeniably brilliant!

    btw forgot to add, the one with parts of wood only has 18 notes whereas there are 20 in the song. Sorry re below, that’s with regards to the version in the end credits. The next line is correct and number of notes/syllables matches up. :)
