Darlene Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 FOUND IT!!! The Air Force Song Off we go, into the wild blue yonder Climbing high, into the sun; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At ‘em boys, giv’em the gun! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one hell-uv-a roar! We live in fame or go down in flame, Nothing‘ll stop the U.S. Air Force! Minds of Men fashioned a crate of thunder, Set it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world asunder, How they lived God only knew! Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wing, ever to soar! With scouts before and bombers galore, Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force! There is a toast to the host of those who love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send the 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’s pot of gold. A toast to the host of men we boast, The U.S. Air Force. Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true, If you’ve lived to be a grey-haired wonder, Keep the nose out of the blue! Flying men, guarding our nation’s borders, We’ll be there, followed by more. In echelon we carry on! Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force. http://www.mer.cap.gov/united.htm Quote Link to comment

Darlene Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Here's the full text of that song-I never knew it was so risque!!! Man on the Flying Trapeze Written By: Unknown Copyright Unknown Once I was happy, But now I'm forlorn, Like an old coat That is tattered and torn; Left in this wide world To weep and to mourn, Betrayed by a maid in her teens. Now this girl that I loved, She was handsome, And I tried all I knew Her to please, But I never could please her One quarter so well As the man on the flying trapeze. Oh, he floats through the air With the greatest of ease, This daring young man On the flying trapeze; His actions are graceful, All girls he does please, My love he has purloined away. He'd play with a miss Like a cat with a mouse, His eyes would undress Every girl in the house. Perhaps he is better Described as a louse, But the people they came just the same. Oh, he'd smile from his perch On the people below And one day he Smiled on my love. She blew him a kiss And she hollered, "Bravo!" As he hung by his nose up above. Oh, he floats through the air With the greatest of ease, This daring young man On the flying trapeze; His actions are graceful, All girls he does please, My love he has purloined away. Oh, I wept and I whimpered, I simpered for weeks, While she spent her time With the circus's freaks. The tears were like hailstones That rolled down my cheeks, Alas, and alack, and alacka! I went to this fellow, The blackguard, and said, "I'll see that you get Your desserts!" He put up his thumb to his nose With a sneer, He sneered once again, and said, "Nertz!" Oh, he floats through the air With the greatest of ease, This daring young man On the flying trapeze; His actions are graceful, All girls he does please, My love he has purloined away. One night to his tent He invited her in, He filled her with compliments, Kisses, and gin And started her out On the road to ruin, Since then l have known no repose. But e'en now l loved her, I said, "Take my name! I'll gladly forgive And forget;" She rustled her bustle Without any shame, Saying, "Well, maybe later, not yet." Oh, he floats through the air With the greatest of ease, This daring young man On the flying trapeze; His actions are graceful, All girls he does please, My love he has purloined away. One night as usual I went to her home, And found there Her father and mother alone, I asked for my love, And it soon was made known, To my horror, that she'd run away. Without any trousseau, She'd fled in the night With him with the Greatest of ease, From two stories high He'd lowered her down To the ground on his flying trapeze. Oh, he floats through the air With the greatest of ease, This daring young man On the flying trapeze; His actions are graceful, All girls he does please, My love he has purloined away. Some months after that I went into a hall, And to my surprise I found there on the wall, A bill in red letters Which did my heart gall, That she was appearing with him. Oh, he'd taught her gymnastics, And dressed her in tights, To help him to live At his ease, He'd made her take on A masculine name, And now she goes on the trapeze. Oh, she floats through the air With the greatest of ease, You'd think her a man On the flying trapeze, She does all the work While he takes his ease, And that's what's become of my love.

Darlene Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Here's a less risque, shorter version-it even has a midi that you can play. BTW-it gives the credit to George Leybourne, 1868. http://www.acronet.net/~robokopp/usa/flytrape.htm Quote Link to comment
logcabinmama Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Thanks MM for putting the 'Air Force' song in. You see, I should have known as our oldest son spent 7 years in the Air Force. We won't tell him that I couldn't remember it, now will we. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
