Come along and join the Air Force, we're a happy band, they say. We never do a lick of work, just fly around all day. While others work and study hard and soon grow old and blind, you'll take to the air without a care, and you will never mind. You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. Promotions come upon you, just as high as you desire. You're riding on the gravy train when you're an Air Force flyer. But just when you're about to be a General you'll find the engine coughs, the wings fall off, and you will never mind. You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. One day you loop a spinner and with an awful tear you find yourself without your wings, but few will ever care. For in about two minutes more another pair you'll find, you'll fly with Pete in his angel suite, and you will never mind. You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. You're flying across the ocean when you hear your engine spit. You see a prop come to a stop, the god damn engine quits. The ship won't float, you cannot swim, the shore is miles behind. You'll be a dish for happy fish, but you will never mind. You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. I'm flying in my -86 along the Yaloo shore. I'm loyal to the Air Force, but I'm rotten to the core. I've only got one engine, Jack, and if that bastard quits it will be up there all by itself 'cause I'm the kind that gits! You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. Maybe you'll ride the gravy train in administrative work; let other guys light up the skies, why should you be a jerk? You'll meet that higher officer to whom you've been assigned with your nose in place (and I don't mean on your face) and you will never mind. You'll never mind; you'll never mind. Oh, come and join the Air Force and you will never mind. 2x (This is my first submission. Here you go, Dad :-)
