Old Gas Mask gang went out to flyOne dark and Y~indy d ayAnd as they taxied'past Iheard old Col Samways sayThe 80th is gonna fly live got a right to sweatIf you think theY're had in MustangsYou should see them in a jet.
! ! ! Yipee aye oh, Yipee aye aeHead hunters in the sky
The Flying Fiends and panthers too
Wish they had our prestigeTheyfre always trying to hit the blueIn some old rusty steed ,Their color$ blue and red will standBut one by one theytll goHe have to have them in the GroupBut what a bunch of schmoes.
CHORUS
,.
They lost their heads and gdve us jetsvlhich they will long rebre t
They took away our Mustangs and some ain't happy yetThe 80th has learned to fly this new tangled roachineBut strictly from hunger are the panthers and the Fiends.
CHORUS
Our Group C.O. is mighty fine and just the other day:t saw him walking on the line and this I heard him sayIf the 35th and 36th would just get on the ballIf they were as sharp as the 80thI'd have no S\'leat at all.

you are m y Moonshine _e :-
M Y only moonshine - You guide m y fightersV J h e h skies are grayI chase your bogies from horo to MojiJust to find thoy Ire gono tho other way
The other day boys, AS I was flying, IHeard Moonshine Controller say "I've gota bogie down by Kurume, won't you headyour j et that - a - way? He said he had mein radar contact, and I believed him likea dope, and still no bogie, held chased afly across the scope
You were my Moonshine
l' liy only Moonshine, HoW could you let medown this way - My chute was swi.ngi.nt
They heard mo singinl,IonIt you take m y Mo on sh in e a wa y.
'Twas a cold winter evening, the guests were all leaving"
OIRiley was closing the bar;When he turned and he said to the lady in red)"Get out, you can r t stay where yo~ are e" '
•
. .She shed a large tear in her bucket of beerAs she thought of the cold night ahead;vfhen a gentleman dapper stepped out of the phone boothAnd these are the words that he said,
"Her Mother never told herThe things a young girl should know,Abo~t the ways of Air Force menAnd how they come and go."
"Age has taken her beautyAnd fate has left her its scarSo remember your Mothers and Sisters, boys,And let her sleep under the bar."
They gave him his orders at old ItazukeS aying Bill youlre way behind timeTake this safehand freight in your war weary MustangAnd putler in Nagoya on time~
II
Bill turned and he said to his black greasy crew chiefIs m y Spam Can ready to rollJust head ler down the runway and open up the throttleAnd I'll call Camel Control,
III
Now there was one dark cloud between Bofu and HonshuBut Bill was a guage pilot holdIt was in this cloud that he spilled his gyrusAnd his Spam Can did two snap rolls~
I V
He came roa-rin-out the bottom doin a million miles an hour
Old Merlin broke into a screamHe was found in the wreck;; with his hand on the throttleStill flyin ,f the Tokyo B eam,.

Fare the well,Old Bill brokeTherelll be noFare the well,
fare thee wellhis Musta:1g all to hellmore Suki-·yaki in good oldfare thee well

M Y name is Throttle Bender,I'm the leader of the Wing;I haven't led a group in years,So I d6n't know a thing,About tho wing formation, boys,That I am going to lead;But I 'm the .lin g Corriman de r,So there really is no need.
IV
NoW if you lead a flight, boysOr if you lead a Group,Lend an ear and you wil~ hear,The latest kind of poopFrom Tokeoyo to Sazzmago.You'll hear the boys all say;The loader bent the throttle, soI had it rough today.
Through the wall - through the wallThat bloody invisible wallThat transonic journey is nothing but roughAs bad as a ride on the local base busSo I'm staying away from the wallSubsonic for me and that's allIf youlre hot you might make itBut youlll probably break it -Your butt or your neck not the wall.
( } ? : _ ~ ~Bless 'em all - Bless fernallBless tiptanks and tailpipes and all.-Bless old man Locklecd for building this jetBut I know a guy who is cussing him yet'Cause he tried to go aver the wallWith tiptanks and tailpipes and all.The needles did cross and the wings did come offwith tiptanks and tailpipes ap.d all.
