- Throw a nickel on the grass – Save a fighter pilot¡¯s ass.-

Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua
Throw a nickel on the grass and you¡¯ll be saved¡¦
I was cruising down the Yalu, doing six and twenty per
When a call came from the Major, Oh won ¡®t you save me sir?
Got three flak holes in my wing tips, and my tanks ain¡¯t got no gas.
Mayday, mayday, mayday, I got six MIGS on my ass.
I shot my traffic pattern, and to me it looked all right,
The airspeed read one-thirty, I really racked it tight!
Then the airframe gave a shudder, the engine gave a wheeze,
Mayday, mayday, mayday, spin instructions please.
It was split S on my Bomb run, and I got too God Damn low
But I pressed that bloody button, and I let those babies go
Sucked the stick back fast as blazes, when I hit a high speed stall
I won¡¯t see my mother when the work all done next fall.
They sent me down to Pyongyang, the brief said ¡°no ack ack¡±
by the time that I arrived there, my wings was mostly flak.
Then my engine coughed and sputtered, it was too cut up to fly
Mayday, mayday, mayday, I¡¯m too young to die.
I bailed out from the Sabre, and the landing came out fine
With my E and E equipment, I made for our front line.
When I opened up ration, to see what was in it,
The God damn quartermaster why he filled the tin with grit.
