450 MAG DROP, MIXTURE LEAN
OIL PRESSURE LOW & NOTHING GREEN
POOR EXCUSE FOR A FLYING MACHINE
THE 183RD IN THEIR L-19’S
FIGHTING BIRDDOGS IN THE SKY
OVERGROSS WE’RE BOUND TO DIE
BIGGEST MESS YOU’VE EVER SEEN
CRASH & BURN IN A L-19
DRINK ALL NITE FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
TIME TO PUT OUR FLIGHT SUIT ON
PILOT DRUNK & CREW CHIEF TOO
UNCLE SAM SAYS I’VE TO YOU
FIGHTING BIRDDOGS IN THE SKY
OVERGROSS WE’RE BOUND TO DIE
BIGGEST MESS YOU’VE EVER SEEN
CRASH & BURN IN A L-19
CROSSWIND BLOWING FROM THE RIGHT
MONSOON HIT US LATE LAST NITE
OVERCAST CAN’T SEE THE SKY
WE DON’T CARE, WE WANT TO FLY
FLYING SOLDIERS FROM THE SKY
FEARLESS MEN WHO FLY & DIE
THEY DON’T FIGHT FOR THE GREEN BERETS
THEY JUST FIGHT FOR GREEN FLIGHT PAY
WITH SILVER WINGS UPON THEIR CHEST
THESE ARE MEN ABOVE THE BEST
ONE HUNDRED MEN GET PAID TODAY
ALL OF THEM GET GREEN FLIGHT PAY
FIGHTING BIRDDOGS IN THE SKY
OVERGROSS WE’RE BOUND TO DIE
BIGGEST MESS YOU’VE EVER SEEN
CRASH & BURN IN A L-19
TRAINED TO LIVE IN HOSTILE LANDS
FROM PLAYBOY CLUBS TO LAS VEGAS SANDS
SPENDING MONEY EVERDAY
AND STILL EARNING GREEN FLIGHT PAY
FIGHTING BIRDDOGS IN THE SKY
OVERGROSS WE’RE BOUND TO DIE
BIGGEST MESS YOU’VE EVER SEEN
CRASH & BURN IN A L-19
WE JUST TOOK A 50 ROUND
VIET CONG CAN’T SHOOT US DOWN
L-19’S ARE BUILT REAL WELL
VIET CONG CAN “GO TO HELL”
HEAR GERRY CARSON AND DICK KLOPPENBURG SING THIS BALLAD AT THE SEAHORSE REUNION.
