HE WEARS A PAIR OF SILVER WINGS
Michael Carr, music; Eric Maschwitz, words, 1942
Kay Kyser lyrics

Although some people say he's just a crazy guy
To me he means a million other things
For he's the one who taught this happy heart of mine to fly
He wears a pair of silver wings.

And though it's pretty tough, the job he does above
I wouldn't have him change for a king
An ordinary fellow in a uniform I love
He wears a pair of silver wings.

Why, I'm so full of pride when we go walking
Every time he's home on leave
He with those wings on his tunic
And me with my heart on my sleeve.

But when I'm left alone and we are far apart
I sometimes wonder what tomorrow brings
For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart
To wear a pair of silver wings.

For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart
To wear a pair of silver wings.
