Little Town Up North 

There's nobody as innocent or naive as a fighter pilot. You can tell a fighter pilot, but not very much. He may be a kid that just started shaving on his last birthday or he may be gray-headed, that is, if he's got any hair. You won't find a more neighborly bunch of guys in any other profession. [snipped].

There's a little town up north, setting on the banks of the river
Seems like the people up there just don't like me and my pals
Cause every time we go to the town on the banks of the river
They start shooting at us with everything that the law allows

We went up there last week to the town on the banks of the river
With a little token of our generosity hung on board
Dropped our gift on the bridge in the town on the banks of the river
But I don't think they like any gift that we can afford

There's a little old man who lives in the town on the banks of the river
With little beady eyes and a scarcity of hair on the top of his head
If the little guy who lives in the town on the banks of the river
Had his way all of me and my pals would all be dead
