Fairey Barracuda Song

I’m told there was a song sung about the Barracuda to the tune of ‘Any Old Iron’. Can’t find more than a few lines of it online…anyone know the whole thing?

What is needed is a copy of this…modern reprints on sale at the FAA Museum shop it would seem.

This one ??

Any old ire, any old ire,
Any, any, any old iron.
Down at Lee you get them free,
Built by Faireys for a crew of three.
Bags of fun, no front gun,
An engine you can’t rely on.
You know what you can do
With your Barracuda too.
Old iron, old iron.

Was there more ?surely that says it all just about 😉
