the last time I saw song be, old victor said hello

the last time I saw song be, old victor said hello he filled the air with 50 cal, and scratched out 'romeo.'
 I was killing charlie when I made my final pass, all I saw of romeo was rotor blades and ass.
well the next month it was long mai, and it sure gives me a thrill, to watch those pesty viet cong, comin, comin o' er the hill, I'd got tired, I'd had it jim! I checked my bvd's as I was climbin to altitude, they shot down 1 and 3.
we relaxed back at crook bin, safe as we could be the major said the mortar rounds were coming instantly.
 just in time we hit those bunkers, got safe underground along came a thunderstorm and half of us were drowned.
well the next flight we did appreciate, we twisted from the sky we were just over the border, it was just a resupply the weather it was very bad, it was a dark and stormy night but the 50-50 tracers gave the necessary light.
please won't you help me, help me if you please I'm lyin here full of bullet holes and crawlin on my knees got to get some fancy ass, down at old song be get me a set of rotor blades to get me there today

well the next night we had 3 ca's we smoothed I tfrom the sky they told us not to worry--it was just a pack of lies the weather it was stormy, a dark and dreary night but the 50-50 tracers gave the necessary light
