There goes the siren that warns off the
air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for
the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the
coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the
engines
Remove all the wheel blocks
there's no time to
waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get
airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling,
flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to
fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces
high
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let
off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come
in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of
the sun
Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press my guns.
Rolling, turning,
diving
Rolling, turning, diving, goin' again
Run, live to
fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces
high.
