1. The Army Air Corps
(Official song of the U. S. Army Air Corps)
1.
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;
Nothing'll 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's pot of gold.
A Toast to the host of men we boast, the Army Air Corps.
2.
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 knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings ever to soar.
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing'll stop the Army Air Corps!
3.
Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Keep the wings level and true.
If you'd live to be a gray 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,
Nothing'll stop the Air Corps now.
2. New Air Corps Song
Into the air Army Air Corps,
Into the air pilots true;
Into the air Army Air Corps,
Keep your nose up in the blue.
And when you hear the angels singing,
And the steel props begin to whine
You'll know the Army Air Corps
Is Along the Firing line.
3. My Buddy
1.
Liie is a book that we study,
Some of its leaves bring a sigh,
There it was written, my Buddy,
That we must part, you and I.
CHORUS
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all thru the day,
My Buddy, my Buddy;
No Buddy quite so true,
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Just long to know that you understand.
My Buddy, my Buddy;
Your Buddy misses you.
Buddies thru all of the gay days,
Buddies when something went wrong,
I wait alone thru the gray days,
Missing your smile and your song.

Praise the Lord and blow them to
perdition in the deep blue sea.
Oh the sky pilot said it. you've got
to give him credit
For a son of a gun oi a gunner was he
Shouting, Praise the Lord, we're on a

All aboard we ain't a goin' fishin'
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
and we'll all stay free.

Where I first met you
With your eyes so blue,
Dressed in gingham too
It was there I knew
That you loved me too.

14. Smiles
There are smiles that make us happy
There are smiles that make us blue
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops
As the sunbeams steal away the dew
There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you give to me.
15. Sfout-Hearted Men
Give me some men who are stout hearted men
Who will fight for the right they adore
Star I me with ten, who are stout hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more
Oh, shoulder to shoulder
And bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore
Then there's nothing in the world
Can halt or mar a plan
When stouthearted men can
Stick together man to man!

17. She Got It From A Private
Who Was Far, Far Away
Around her leg she wore a purple garter
She wore it in December
And in the month of May
And when they asked her
Where the hell she got it
She got it from a private who
Was far, far away.
Around the house
She wore a Mother Hubbard
She wore it in December
And in the month of May
And when they asked her
Where the hell she got it
She got if from a private
Who was far, far away.

Sons of toil,and danger
Must you serve a stranger,
And bow down to Germany?
Sons of strife end sorrow
Break your chains tomorrow
Shout, "To hell with Germany."

Onward, onward, the Allied Forces go.
Sons of France we'll guide you
We'll be there beside you
'Til the end of Germany.

And smile, smile, smile,
While you've a lucifer to light your fag

So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile!

Wrap both your elbows up around your neck
And scratch, scratch, scratch.
Don't stop a second—if you do, by heck,
Your troubles start to hatch.
What's the use of sulphur salve?
It never was worth much;
So wrap both your elbows up around your neck
And scratch, scratch, scratch.

No pretty little girls to deceive me

By the light of the silvery moo-oo-oo-oon
Happy is the day when the air corps gets its pay
As we go rolling, rolling home.
