From ‘The bawdy songs & ballads of World war II’ by Martin Page (pub 1975 by Granada)
‘This was preferably sung in American Air Forces preserves, with the resultant punch-up’
(To the tune of ‘John Brown’s body’)
‘Flying Flying Fortesses at forty thousand feet,
(repeat twice)
We’ve got bags of ammunition and a teeny weeny bomb
As we go rolling on.
But fly Avro Lancasters at zero zero feet,
(repeat twice)
We’ve got F&%k all ammunition and a great big blooming bomb,
As we go rolling on’
(To the tune of ‘It’s foolish but it’s fun)
‘I love to be a WOP/AG,
and fly all over Germanee,
and get shot up to bugeree,
it’s foolish but it’s fun’
I remember a song being printed in FlyPast some time back about the time an RAF squadron accidentaly dropped a bomb on a pub toilet. I’ll have a look in the morning, when I get home from work, see if I can find it, if someone else hasn’t posted it in the meantime.
