Come On And Join The Air Force  

come on & join the Air Force
we're a happy band, they say
we never do a lick of work
just fly around all day
while others work & study hard
& soon grow old & blind
you'll take to the air without a care
& you will never mind

Chorus:

you'll never mind, you'll never mind
oh come & join the Air Force
& you will never mind

promotions come upon you
just as high as you desire
you're riding on the gravy train
when you're an Air Force flyer
but just when you're about to be
a General you'll find
the engine coughs, the wings fall off
& you will never mind

one day you'll loop & spin 'er
& with an awful tear
you'll find yourself without your wings
but you will never care
for in about 2 minutes more
another pair you'll find
you'll fly with Pete & his angels, sweet
& you will never mind 

you're flying across the ocean
when you hear your engines spit
you see a prop come to a stop
the goddamn engine's quit
the ship won't float, you cannot swim
the shore is miles behind
you'll be a dish for happy fish
but you will never mind

I'm flying in my F-86
along the Yalu shore
I am loyal to the Air Force
but I'm rotten to the Corps
I've only got one engine, Jack
& if the bastard quits
it will be up there all by itself
cause I'm the kind that gets

maybe you'll ride the gravy train
in administrative work
let other guys light up the skies
why should you be a jerk
you'll meet that higher officer
to whom you've been assigned
with your nose in place, & I don't mean on your face
you will never mind
