You could arguably just change the word 'green' to 'tan' and have a great song about Rangers, but I'm wondering if there's a song written about Rangers somewhat similar to this one.
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Airborne Ranger
Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger where have you been?
Around the world and back again
Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger how did you go?
In a C-130 flying low
Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger what did you do?
I killed some commies for me and you
Airborne Ranger, Airborne Ranger how’d you get back?
In a black and gold body sack.

I have often wondered why he say "win" the green beret. Shouldn't it be earned?

Are the Rangers as Selective as SF about who joins their ranks? SF rejects 97% and only flashes 3%.

MAJ Ronnie Reams
SFC Michael Hasbun - From the song, 100 men will test today, but only 3 win the green beanie. Ever listened to it? Three of a hundred is 3 % and that means 97% did not make it.

MAJ Ronnie Reams - You think the song reflects actual DOD statistics on SF selection and attrition?
Please Google "hyperbole".

SFC Michael Hasbun
MAJ Ronnie Reams - he didn't lie. He posted song lyrics for an actual song. You misinterpreted song lyrics to be factual statistics. The song is an exxageration that doesn't reflect reality (it was a song written by and for SF, so it makes sense that they would be a bit masturbatory).
