Somewhere there's a woman She's crying for her man He's an Air Force pilot He does the best he canRefrain: Don't cry for me I don't need your sympathy 'Cause I'm an Air Force pilot And that's all I want to be
Somewhere there's a mother She's praying for her son He's an Air Force pilot And his work is never done
Somewhere there's a father His head is bowed in grief His son was an Air Force pilot And he died for his beliefs
Somewhere there's a mother Flag folded in her hands Her son was an Air Force pilot And he died for his land
I hear the choppers coming They're flying overhead They've come to get the wounded They've come to get the dead
Refrain: Air Force(shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot to kill) Pilot (shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot to kill) *
My buddy's in a foxhole A bullet in his head The Army says he's living But I know that he's dead
I ran to tell the C-O About my buddy's head But when I got there The C-O was dead
And now the battle's over The smoke is all around We wanted to go home But we're six feet underground
* In this refrain, the unit sings the words in parentheses at the same time that the leader sings the words in italics. The unit then repeats the leader's words in the normal manner.
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot where have you been Around the world and back again
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you go In a C-130, flying low
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get down In an A-10 charlie, big and round
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot what did you do I killed a commie for me and you
Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get back In a black and gold body sack
I don't know why I left But I must've done wrong
Refrain: And it won't be long 'Till I get on back home
Got a letter in the mail Go to war or go to jail
Sat me in that barber's chair Spun me around, I had no hair
Used to drive a Cadillac Now I pack it on my back
Dress it right and cover down Forty inches all around
Nine to the front and six to the rear That's the way we do it here
Used to date a beauty queen Now I date my M-16
Ain't no use in lookin' down Ain't no discharge on the ground
Ain't no use in going back Jody's got your Cadillac
Ain't no use in calling home Jody's got your girl and gone
Ain't no use in feeling blue Jody's got your sister too
They took away my gin and rum Now I'm up before the sun
Mama Mama can't you see What the Air Force's done for me
Mama Mama can't you see This Air Force life is good for me
Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he He called for his pipe and called for his bowl and he called for his privates, three Beer, beer, beer said the airmen Merry men are we But none so fair that they can compare to the Air Force ROTC

Standing tall and looking good Ought to march in Hollywood
Hold your head and hold it high ___ Flight is marching by
Close your eyes and hang your head We are marching by the dead
Look to your right and whadta see? A whole bunch of legs looking at me
Dress it right and cover down Forty inches all around
Nine to the front, six to the rear That's the way we do it here
Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the springtime, in the merry month of May And if you asked her why the heck she wore it She wore it for that Air Force pilot who was far, far away
Refrain: Far away! Far away! She wore it for that soldier who was far, far away.
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage...
Around her thigh she wore a yellow garter...
Behind the door her daddy kept his shotgun...
In the church the preacher kept a license...

Sittin' on a mountain top, beating my drum Beat it so hard that he MP's come I said MP, MP, don't arrest me Arrest that leg behind the tree He stole the whiskey, I stole the wine All I ever do is double-time
Up in the morning 'fore the break of day I don't like it, no way Eat my breakfast too damn soon Hungry as a hound dog, 'fore noon
Up in the morning at the break of day Working so hard we never play Running through the jungle where the sun don't shine All I do is double time Up in the morning and out of the rack Grab my clothes and put them on my back Running cross the desert in the shifting sand Drill Sergeant, look, I'll give you a helping hand
Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell I know that voice and I know it well Drill Sergeant says you better hit the floor And don't be walking going out the door
I like women and I like wine But all I do is double time Double time here and double time there Man this life, it's the best anywhere
Me and Superman got in a fight I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite
I hit him so hard I busted his brain And now I'm dating Lois Lane
Well, me and Batman, we had one, too I hit him in the head with my left shoe And now IÕm dating the batgirl too.
When my granny was 91 She did PT just for fun
92 She did PT better than you
93 She did PT better than me
94 She did PT more and more
95 She did PT to stay alive
96 She kept on doing flutter-kicks
97 She up and died and went to heaven
She met St. Peter at the pearly gates Said, "St. Peter, St. Peter, hope I'm not late
St. Peter said with a big ol' grin "Get down granny, and knock out ten"
She replied with a big ol' smile "Sorry, St. Peter, I'm on profile!"
One mile No sweat
Two miles Better yet
Three miles Gotta run
Four miles To the sun
No-Cadence Jodies:
Way up north where it gets real cold
The people there don't have any gold
So they make their living
Off the skins of baby seals
But me I love the killin'
Because it's so fulfillin'
Oh how I hate to see a baby seal grow old!
RE:
Don't bludgeon a seal
'cause you need a meal
Just do it cause you wanna hear that little creature squeal.
So kick it in the head
And do it just for kicks
And you poke it in the eyes with your eye poking sticks!
My father he was really mean
My mother just a bit obscene
I guess that's the reason
Why I feel the way I feel
My kids and dog they hate me
My wife she wants to leave me
I guess i'll take it out on the baby seal!
Chorus
