I wish to be a pilot and you along with me,
But if we all were pilots where would the Air Force be?
The pilots just a chauffer, his job to fly the plane,
But its we who do the fighting, though we may not get the fame.
It takes guts to be a gunner and sit in the lonely Ball,
When the Messerschmitts are coming and the Fw's give their all.
So if we must be gunners then let us make this bet,

We'll be the best damn gunners that have left the US yet!
