F-4 Jock

I 'Druther Be An F-4 Jock

Well, I 'druther be an F-4 jock than the governor of New York state
Now, the governor's got him a pretty good job, and I 'spose he thinks it's great
But dropping nape and strafing trucks are two things he don't know
And I couldn't fill the governor's shoes, 'cause I couldn't spend all of that dough

(. . . I wrote this when Rockefeller was governor of New York. . .)

I 'druther be an F-4 jock than the owner of old Fort Knox
And I like the smell of JP-4 better than a rosewood box
Hydraulic fluid and afterburner fumes just some kinda turn me on
Feller, I'm happier flying F-4Ds than a hound dog gnawing a bone

Well, I 'druther be an F-4 jock than the Air Force Chief of Staff
One good reason, I ain't got the rank (right here, you're supposed to laugh)
It's a lot more fun just dropping bombs and hassling, two-on-two
So, I'll just stick to my gunnery range and flying the Phantom Two
