aviation songs

[meatloaf109]

I remember this one from a book on fighter pilots.
"Glorious, glorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us,
Singing glory be to god that there are no more of us,
'Cause one of us could drink it all alone!
(Damn near!)

The interesting thing about this one is that no music I.D. is required, all you have to do is chant it and the song becomes apparent.

Army Air force Heaven is great one. This is the only video I could find of this song.

Everywhere I went in the USAF, or Army Aviation I heard of the songs the pilots would make when they were in the officers club and deep into their beer.

Not that I ever stepped foot into the O-club.
But sometimes us enlisted men would get access to recordings of their more successful efforts.

I remember one from Itazuki AFB Japan, Korean war era. About a young 2nd Lt. in a F-82 flying IFR literally ( I fly railroads )
Everything was going fine until the tracks disappeared into a hole in the mountain, a railroad tunnel.
I wish I could remember all the lyrics .

Paul, with some added lyrics that was a running song at Bragg
Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink
Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink

Drunk last night
Drunk the night before
Gunna get drunk like i never have before
Cuz when Im drunk im happy as can be
Cuz Im a member of the frog family!

Well, the frog familly is the best family
to ever sail accross the seven seas!
You got your highland frog
And your lowland frog,
Your underwater frog and your gosh darn frog.

Singin glorious oh glorious
One keg o' beer for the 4 of us
Thank god there are no more of us
cuz one of us is drinkin all the beer.
Damn near!

The state of california is a hellofa place to be
the temurature in the shade is 193!

There isnt any water
There isnt any grass
Jus a whole lotta cactus
Thatll stick you in the ass!

singin glorious oh glorious
One keg o' beer for the 4 of us
Thank god there are no more of us
cuz one of us is drinkin all the beer.
Damn near!

I can't seem to find it on Google, but I can recall either a song or poem "When a Beau goes in" from a book about the RAF that stuck in my head pretty well at the time(about 45 years ago).

Apparently, ditching a Beaufighter wasn't conducive to long life.
