Just like his old father before him
|
Who served in the great war would sing
|
We're proud to serve Kaiser or King
|
|
They'll always find someone who's willing
|
To take Tigermoth chances alone
|
The boy who should never have flown
|
|
Was thrown a hundred yards
|
Blown into smithereens
|
A crowd drew near but failed to hear
|
Look I'm over here and still one of you wait...
|
|
The young man's despondence soon halted
|
When gently a voice that he knew
|
Took shape slowly out of the blue
|
|
Flight Captain James at your service
|
Last month I went down in the drink
|
You're not as alone as you think
|
|
Here's some of your chums from last Thursday
|
Shot down in their prime over Rome
|
The boys who can never go home
|
|
Were thrown a hundred yards
|
Blown into smithereens
|
Until we meet again my friends
|
No regrets and Lily Marlene sings again
|
