G'day,

Here's some other verses more or less to the version Alison posted (linked to above)

I'd like to find the Seargeant who forgot to hook me up (x3)

I'd like to find the WAAF who tied a love knot in my line(x3)

I'd like to find the pilot who forgot to throttle back (x3)

I'd like to find the WAAF who put the blankets in my chute (x3)

WAAF = Women's Auxillary Air Force - pronounced "waff"

There's also another somewhat more complicated version to the same tune:

"Is everybody happy?" said the Sergeant, looking up,
Our herofeebly answered "Yea" and then they hooked him up,
He jumped into the slipstream, and he twisted twenty times,
And he ain't goin' to jump no more.

[Cho] Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die! (x3)
And he ain't going to jump no more.

There's another six verses if anyone is interested. I have lyrics for another eight paratrooper songs - haven't checked DT for 'em yet.

Bit gory, 'eh? I've known a couple of recreational 'chutists who "candled" - one survived. I'd never have the guts to do it - even with modern technology. I'll stick with one of the other WWII para' song mottos "Always Keep Your Trousers Clean"

Cheers - Sam
