The Army Air Corps Lyrics
Army Air Corps Music Click here
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 -- helluva roar!
We live -- in fame
Or go down -- in flame, HELL!
Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps!
Minds of men -- fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high -- into the blue;
Hands of men -- blasted the world asunder;
How they lived -- God only knows!
Souls of men -- dreaming of skies to conquer;
Gave us wings -- ever to soar,
With scouts before
And bombers galore, HELL!
Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps!
Chorus:
Here's a toast to the host of those who love
The vastness of the sky,
To a friend -- we will send -- a message of
His brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old --
Then down we roar -- to score the rainbow pot of gold.
A toast -- to the host of men we boast,
The Army Air Corps!
Off we go -- into the wild blue yonder,
Keep the wings level and true;
If you'd live to be a grey-haired wonder
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men guarding the nation's border,
We'll be there, followed by more.
In echelon -- we carry on. HELL!
Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps!
