Down the Ruhr Valley flying so low
Some armchair general, said we must go
Flak loves big Bombers, fighter do too
P-51 Boys, what happened to you.
Please write a letter, send it to me
send it in care of Stalag Luft III.
P-47 Boys, we're longing to see
you shoot up this place and set us all free.
We see you coming, and we all agree
soon ther'll be no more Stalag Luft III.
Now I am home again, the war just a dream
and I can even stand our little girls scream.
We've learned to like Football, and we like the Colts,
We like the Mustangs, but we love Thunderbolts!
