I somehow got bounced from the Mudcat Cafe!
I meant to add that several songs with this chorus have been extremely popular with fighter pilots since World War II. The song also is often found with an introduction:It was midnight in Thailand
I suspect this is also a parody. Has anyone any suggestions?
All the air crews were in bed
When up stepped Colonel Sheaver
And this is what he said
"Pilots, gentle pilots, fighter pilots all
Switchblades, gentle Switchblades,"
And all the pilots shouted, "Balls!"
When up stepped a young PWSO
With a voice as harsh as brass
"You can take those goddamn Aardvark jets
And shove them up your ass."Thank you very much!
