Tigermoth |
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 |
