I Wanted Wings - Oscar Brand[00:00:01]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:00:04]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:00:08]
They taught me how to fly then they sent me off to die[00:00:11]
Well I've had a belly full of war[00:00:15]
You can save those bloody zeros[00:00:19]
For the other goddamned heroes[00:00:20]
Distinguished Flying Crosses[00:00:22]
Do not compensate for losses buster[00:00:24]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:00:28]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:00:32]
Yes I'll take the dames let the rest go down in flames[00:00:35]
I have no desire to be burned[00:00:39]
Air Combat spells romance 'til they shoot holes in my pants[00:00:42]
I'm not a fighter I have learned[00:00:46]
You can save the Mitsubishis[00:00:50]
For the other sons-a-witchies[00:00:52]
I'd rather make a woman[00:00:54]
Than be shot down in a Grumman buster[00:00:55]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:00:59]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:01:03]
Now I'm too young to die in a lousy PBY[00:01:06]
That's for the eager not for me[00:01:10]
I don't trust in my luck to be picked up by a Duck[00:01:14]
After I've crashed into the sea[00:01:18]
Yes I'd rather be a terrier[00:01:21]
Than I flyer on a carrier[00:01:23]
With my hand around a bottle[00:01:25]
You can keep your goddamned throttle buster[00:01:27]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:01:31]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:01:35]
I do not care to tour over Berlin and the Ruhr[00:01:38]
Flak always makes me lose my lunch[00:01:42]
I get an urge to pray when they holler bombs away[00:01:46]
I'd rather be at home with the bunch[00:01:50]
For there's one thing you can't laugh off[00:01:53]
When the shoot your tailpipe half off[00:01:55]
I'd rather be home buster[00:01:57]
With my tail than with a cluster buster [00:01:59]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:02:04]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:02:08]
They feed us lousy chow but we stay alive somehow[00:02:11]
On dehydrated eggs and milk and stew[00:02:15]
They rumor has it next they'll be dehydrating sex[00:02:19]
Well that's the day I'll tell the coach I'm through[00:02:23]
For I've managed all the dangers[00:02:26]
The shooting back of strangers[00:02:28]
But when I get home late[00:02:30]
I want my woman straight buster[00:02:32]
I wanted wings 'till I got the goddamned things[00:02:36]
Now I don't want them anymore[00:02:40]
