Army Air Force Heaven - Oscar Brand[00:00:01]
Beside a Korean waterfall one bright and sunny day[00:00:05]
Beside a shattered bomber plane a poor young pilot lay[00:00:10]
His parachute hung from a tree but he was not yet dead[00:00:14]
And as they gathered 'round him these were the words he said[00:00:19]
I'm going to that better land where the motors always roar[00:00:23]
Where the eggnogs grow on eggplants in the Quartermaster's store[00:00:28]
Where there aren't no Interceptors and no enemies around[00:00:33]
There'll be apple pie and rock'n'rye[00:00:37]
And the pilots go there when they die[00:00:40]
In the Army/AirForce heaven[00:00:43]
The pilot lay beside the falls as the medics clustered 'round[00:00:45]
And he said it's such a lovely place; that's where I am bound[00:00:49]
A crankshaft in his liver and a sparkplug on his nose[00:00:54]
He said I'm flying fast my friends to where every pilot goes[00:00:58]
I'm going to that better land where the Airmen rise in style[00:01:03]
Where the automatic pilot works and we sit back and smile[00:01:08]
There's a girl for every Officer a dozen for the crew[00:01:12]
There'll be beds of hay in the old bomb bay[00:01:17]
And the boys will shout out 'Bombs away'[00:01:20]
In the Army/AirForce heaven[00:01:22]
His breath came fast he couldn't last with sadness they all eyed him[00:01:24]
The medics wept the tears rolled down the pools flowed down beside him[00:01:29]
The waters rose they reached his toes he floated where he lay[00:01:34]
And as he drifted out of sight his comrades heard him say[00:01:38]
I'm going to that better land where the flak don't never fly[00:01:43]
Where bullets are all cotton and the shells are apple pie[00:01:48]
Where the clouds are champagne cocktails and you drink them on the fly[00:01:52]
Well it's time to leave don't you grieve[00:01:57]
I'll be wearing wings on my leather sleeve[00:02:00]
In the Army/AirForce heaven[00:02:02]
