The blessed song of the Fleet Air Arm.
There have been many different verses over the years (over 25).
Here are some of the more ‘family friendly’ ones…
[Verse 1]
G D G They say in the Air Force a landing's OK F If the pilot gets out and can still walk away, G C G But in the Fleet Air Arm the prospect is grim D G If the landing's piss-poor and the pilot can't swim.
[Chorus]
C G Cracking show, I'm alive, D G But I still have to render my A25.
[Verse 2]
G D G I fly for a living and not just for fun, F I'm not very anxious to hack down a Hun, G C G And as for deck landings at night in the dark, D G As I told Wings this morning, 'Blow that for a lark.'
[Chorus]
C G Cracking show, I'm alive, D G But I still have to render my A25.
[Verse 3]
G D G When the batsman gives "lower" I always go higher, F I drift o'er to starboard and prang my Seafire. G C G The boys in the "Goofers" all think that I'm green, D G But I get a commission from Supermarine.
[Chorus]
C G Cracking show, I'm alive, D G But I still have to render my A25.
[Verse 4]
G D G The moral of this story is easy to see, F A Fleet Air Arm pilot you never should be, G C G But stay on the shore and get two rings or three D G And go out every night on the ‘drink’ down at Lee.
[Chorus]
C G Cracking show, I'm alive, D G But I still have to render my A25.
