Air Force Song (First Verse)

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
climbing high into the sun,
here they come, zooming to meet our thunder,
at 'em boys, give er the gun!
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
off with one hell-of-a-roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing will stop the US Air Force!
