[Verse 1]
We fighter pilots fought the German chaps in World War II
In Hurricanes and Spitfires
Performed feats of derring-do
The finest British pilots
That the world could hope to have
Binky!
Stinky!
Squiffy!
Franstisek!
And Stansislav!
Hold fire, is that some foreign chaps risking their necks?
That's right!
Some of the bravest men were Polish and Czech
[Chorus: All]
We like to fire
Beating Jerry, our one desire
Yeah, yeah!
All we do each night is pray we'll live to fight another day
[Post-Chorus]
Take that, Hitler!
[Verse 2]
My name is Douglas Bader, let me tell of my ordeal
Lost both legs in an accident, these ones are not real (They're not real)
I left the air force after that, flying was a hobby
But when war broke in '39
Came back! (Just like Robbie)
Shot down twenty two of them, led the air attack
'Til finally, the Luftwaffe hit me back
Oh no, pretty baby!
