Barnacle Bill, The Pilot 
"the AirForce is the life for me" said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor
"I'll jump my ship & I'll leave the sea" said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor
"I'll fly so high, I'll pass the sky & gravitation, I'll defy
I'll make they ladies faint & sigh" said Barnacle Bill, the Sailor
"pretty soon, you'll lose that grin, pretty soon, you'll lose that grin
pretty soon, you'll lose that grin" cried the fair young maiden
"well, I'm rough & tough & I know my stuff" said Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
"I'll fly this ship, 'til I've had enough" said Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
"oh, I know the struts, I know the fins, I know the barrel rolls & spins
I know the Outs, I'll learn the Ins" said Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
"you're out of gas, you must go down, you're out of gas, you must go down
you're out of gas, you must go down" cried the fair young maiden
"well, I'm a cockeyed Fin, if I give in" said Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
"I've made my way through thick & thin" said Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
he kicked the bar, he pulled the stick, he hit the ground like a ton of brick
I'd tell you more, but it makes me sick, for Barnacle Bill, the Pilot
"here's some flowers for his grave, here's some flowers for his grave
many brave hearts lie asleep in the deep" cried the fair young maiden
