Lyrics:
Just like his old father before himWho served in the great war would singWe're proud to serve Kaiser or KingThey'll always find someone who's willingTo take Tigermoth chances aloneThe boy who should never have flownWas thrown a hundred yardsBlown into smithereensA crowd drew near but failed to hearLook I'm over here and still one of you wait...The young man's despondence soon haltedWhen gently a voice that he knewTook shape slowly out of the blueFlight Captain James at your serviceLast month I went down in the drinkYou're not as alone as you thinkHere's some of your chums from last ThursdayShot down in their prime over RomeThe boys who can never go homeWere thrown a hundred yardsBlown into smithereensUntil we meet again my friendsNo regrets and Lily Marlene sings again
