F-15 Roaring Down The Strip

F-15 roaring down the strip
Air Force jockey on a one way trip

Mission: Top Secret; Destination: Unknown
Don’t even know if he’s ever coming home

Scorching the ground at the speed of sound
Droppin’ that napalm all around

Rippin’ through the sky at Mach 2.2
Afterburner, I’m counting on you

If that bogey screws with me
He’s gonna rejoin his infantry

America counts upon our crew
Friendly skies are the Air Force blue

 

They Say That In The Air Force

They say that in the Air Force, the chicken's mighty fine
One jumped off the table and started marking time

 Refrain:
Oh, Lord I wanna go
But they won't let me go
(group ends this line with home, stretched out over 8 paces, and
a "Hey" on the right foot to end the refrain)

Other Verses:
They say that in the Air Force, the pay is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine

 They say that in the Air Force, the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine

 They say that in the Air Force, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine

They say that in the Air Force, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine

 They say that in the Air Force, the shoes are mighty fine
You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine

 They say that in the Air Force, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time

 They say that in the Air Force, the bed's are mighty fine
But how the heck would I know, I've never slept in mine

 They say that in the Air Force, the mail is so great
Today I got a letter dated 1998

 They say that in the Air Force, the hours are just right
Start early in the morning and work on through the night

 They say that in the Air Force, the buses are mighty fine
One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind

 They say that in the Air Force, the coffee's mighty fine
It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine

 They say that in the Air Force, the toilets are mighty fine
You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine

 They say that in the Air Force, the tents are waterproof
You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof

 

I’ve Been Told

I don't know but I've been told
Air Force wings are made of gold

I don't know but it's been said
Army wings are made of lead

Sound off - (US)
Louder - (Air Force)
Bring it on down - (US Air Force, US AIR FORCE!) 

 

My Granny

When my granny was 91
She did PT just for fun

When my granny was 92
She did PT better than you

When my granny was 93
She did PT better than me

When my granny was 94
She did PT more and more

When my granny was 95
She did PT to stay alive

When my granny was 96
She did PT just for kicks

When my granny was 97
She up and died and went to heaven

She met St. Peter at the pearly gates
Said, "St. Peter, St. Peter, hope I'm not late
St. Peter said with a big ol' grin "Get down granny, and knock out ten"
She replied with a big ol' smile
“Sorry, St. Peter, I'm on profile!"

 

One Mile, Two Miles

One mile
No sweat

Two miles
Better yet

 Three miles
Gotta run

 Four miles
To the sun
 

Air Force Pilot II

Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot where have you been
Around the world and back again

Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you go
In a C-130, flying low

 Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get down
In an A-10 Charlie, big and round

 Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot what did you do
I killed a commie for me and you

 Air Force pilot, Air Force pilot how did you get back
In a black and gold body sack

 

Captain Jack

Hey hey Captain Jack
Meet me down by the railroad track

A fighting man
For Uncle Sam

With a weapon in my hand
I'm gonna be a fighting man

 With a button in my hand
I'm gonna be a missile man

I'm gonna be a drinking man

 With a suitcase in my hand

 With some shoes in my hand
I'm gonna be a drilling man 

(Can substitute some other names)

 

Let It Blow

My recruiter said to me
Boy whatcha wanna be

I want a team that's tried and true
I want to wear the Air Force blue

Let 'em blow let 'em blow
Let the four winds blow

From the east to the west
Air Force is the best

The night was cold the ground was wet
They put us on a silver jet

And when the plane touched the ground
Air Force was all around

And in the middle of the fight
I looked over to my right

There he lay on the ground
My buddy fell without a sound

And when the battle it was won
Air Force was number one

Then the general bowed his head
For all the wounded and the dead

We swore to God that we would fight
For all that we knew was right

God, Country, Family
Protecting our democracy

 

Tiny Bubbles

Ti - ny bubbles
In my wine
Makes me happy
Makes me feel fine

Ti - ny bubbles
In my whiskey
Makes me feel happy
Makes me feel frisky

 Tiny bubbles
In my beer
Makes me happy
And full of cheer

Tiny bubbles
In my wine
Makes me happy
All the time

Others:
Kalua: Hooah
Everclear: Here

 

Rolling C-141

141 rolling down the strip
Air Force maggots on a one way trip

 Mission top secret, destination unknown
Don't even know if we're ever coming home

 Arrived in the jungle at a quarter to four
We got off the plane and were ready for war

 We won the battle and we won the war
Then partied all night at the local bar

 Riding high and feeling good
Feel like stars in Hollywood 

The Air Force is second to none
We can't be beaten, we're number one!

 

Out Jumped The Monkey

Out jumped the monkey from the coconut grove
He was a bad mambo-jambo you could tell by his clothes
He wore jungle boots and a scarlet beret
He said, "Combat control will lead the way!" 

A hundred commies up against the wall
He took a hundred dollar bet he could waste them all
He shot 98 till his barrel turned blue
Then he took out a knife and stabbed the other two.

 

DA Man

Remember my name if you can
I'm the one they call D.A. man

 D.A. man I'm number one
I fix the files but I sure can't run

 If you're in need come to me
I even fix coffee but it ain't free

 D.A. man D.A. man hear my song
I've been chairborne much too long

 Used to train and knew how to fight
Then top found out I read and write

 Since that time I'm sitting all day
Writin' and typin' to earn my pay

 If my girlfriend asks about my death
Tell her I was bored with my last breath

 

We Are The Air Force

Refrain: Sound off (1,2), sound off (3,4)
Bring it on down now (1,2,3,4 US AIR FORCE)

 In the snow, the sleet, the rain
We train, we train, we train

 The first to fight, the last to run
We are the Air Force, we're number one

 We'll win the battle, we’ll win the war
We love this country we're fighting for

We fly our planes both day and night
If things get ugly we’ll show our might

 

Pararescue

Born on a mountain top raised by a bear
I got two sets of teeth and a full coat of hair

 When you see me coming you better hide
Cause I'll hunt you down and eat you alive 

Para rescue combat control
We're like that bear down to the soul

 We're rough and tough and feeling mean
We'll slit your throat and wipe it clean

 We’ll spit on your grave and laugh out loud
Put a smile on our face and feel real proud

 Dealing death isn’t all we do
We're trained to save a few lives too

Fighter Pilots

Oh, there are no fighter pilots in the (organization)
Everyone: In the (organization)!
Oh, there are no fighter pilots in the (organization)
Everyone: In the (organization)!
Cause (.................)
Oh, there are no fighter pilots in the (organization)
Everyone: In the (organization)!

Everyone:
Singing:
Glorious, Victorious, Hey!
One keg of beer for the four of us
Singing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
'Cause one of us could drink it all alone
Stand clear, pass the beer to the rear of the squadron. 

Verses:
Navy: They’re all around in boats, doing God knows what to goats
Marine Corps: They’re off in foreign lands, building castles out of sand
Army: You teach them how to fly, then they crash and burn and die
States: They’re all on foreign shores kickin' butt in all the wars

 

Hi Ho Diddley Bop Bop

Hi Ho Diddly Bop Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my sixteen in my hand
I wanna be a fighting man

Hi Ho Diddly Bop Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my woman in my arms
I wanna show her all my charms 

Hi Ho Diddly Bop Bop
I wish I was back on the block
With my bottle in my hand
I wanna be a drinking man

 

Air Force Pilot I

I wanna be an Air Force pilot
I wanna fly that F-16
I wanna fly with the canopy open
Just to hear them commies scream

I wanna be an Air Force pilot
I wanna fly that big C-5
I want a plane that looks like a whale
Swimming around with tanks inside

I wanna be an Air Force pilot
I wanna shoot at Russian tanks
I wanna fly the mean A-10
And make all them dumb grunts say thanks

I wanna be a navigator
I wanna back seat to the show
I wanna be a navigator
Tell the pilots where to go

I wanna be a missileer
I wanna live in a deep dark hole
I wanna be a missileer
Nuke those commies till they glow
 

C-130

I don't know but I think I might
Jump from an airplane while in flight

 Soldier, soldier, have you heard
I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird

 Up in the morning in the drizzlin' rain
Packed my chute and boarded the plane

 C-130 rollin' down the strip
64 troopers on a one-way trip

 Mission Top Secret, destination unknown
They don't know if they're ever coming home

When my plane gets up so high
Airborne troopers gonna dance in the sky

 Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four

If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side

If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-coming through

If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home

Bury speakers all around my head
So I can rock with the Grateful Dead

Bury speakers all around my toes
So I can rock with Axel Rose

If I die on a Chinese hill
Take my watch or the commies will

If I die in the Korean mud
Bury me with a case of Bud

Put my wings upon my chest
And tell my Mom I did my best

 

Jody

Jody Jody look and see
Look what the Air Force done to me

Tried to give me Navy blues
But I don't need those tattoos

Tried to give me Army greens
But I don't need that Army scene

Tried to make me a marine
If I were that I think I'd scream

Issued me Air Force blues
Now I'm Air Force through and through

 

Mama Mama

Mama, Mama can't you see
What the Air Force done to me

Used to drive a Chevrolet
Now I'm marchin' everyday

 Took away my faded jeans
Now I'm wearin' Air Force greens

 Used to date a beauty queen
Now l got my M-16

 Used to be a high school stud
Now I'm crawlin' in the mud

 Used to drive a Subaru
Now I'm wearin' Air Force blue

 Used to own a Cadillac
Now I pack it on my back

 Standin' tall and lookin' good
I should be in Hollywood

 

Here We Go Again

Here we go again
Same old stuff again

 Marching down the avenue
Few more days and we'll be through

 I won't have to look at you
So, I'll be glad and so will you

 

Old King Cole

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he, uh-huh
He called for his pipe and called for his bowl and he called for his Airmen, three, uh-huh

 “Beer, Beer, Beer” said the Airmen
Merry men are we

 But none so fair that they can compare to the Air Force ROTC

The cadence continues on in this manner, with a verse about a higher rank and repeating
all of the ranks before. Eight verses are sung with these lyrics: (the cadet is added only if you want to)

Sergeants: “Left, Right, Left”
LT’s: “Where Do We Go Now?”
Captains: “Charge That Hill”
Majors: “Who’s Gonna Shine My Boots?”
Colonels: “Where’s My Star?”
Generals: “War, War, War”
Cadets: “When Do I Get My Check”
 

Surfer Dude

I used to be a Surfer Dude
I used to ride some gnarly tubes
Riding waves every day
Now they took my board away

 Whoa Hoa bogus deal
Hey FTO like get for real
Whoa Hoa to the max
Please don't take my surfboard wax

 Whoa Hoa is this for me
Maybe surf life's history
Whoa Hoa I don't know
Should I stay or should I go

 Whoa Hoa mega change
This feeling now is really strange
Whoa Hoa gnarly time
Air Force life is on my mind

 In two years camp will be a blur
And I’ll be an Air Force Officer
I’ll miss the ocean and the sand
But I’ll be an American Fighting Man

 Whoa Hoa I'm glad I came
My life will never be the same
Honor, pride, dignity
Now they mean much more to me

 

PT Pill

Old John Wayne was a friend of mine
We did PT all the time

 Push-up, sit-up, two mile run
We didn't stop till all was done

 John Wayne loved his vitamin P
He taught me that it's good for me

 On day one I was puny and weak
John Wayne started with the bend and reach

 On day two it was doing me good
I kept my faith like he knew I would

 On day three I was tall and proud
I felt so good I led the crowd

 PT is good for you and me
We'll never OD on vitamin P

 We do PT the John Wayne way
We do PT every day

 I like PT that’s no lie
I'll do PT till I die

 PT keeps me fit and strong
With vitamin P, PT!!!

 

Around Her Hair

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the springtime in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her cadet who was far, far away
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her cadet who was far, far away

Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the springtime in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She pushed it for her cadet who was far, far away
Far away!
Far away!
She pushed it for her cadet who was far, far away

Behind the door her father kept a shotgun
He kept it in the springtime in the merry month of May
And if you asked him why the heck he kept it
He kept it for her cadet who was far, far away
Far away!
Far away!
He kept it for her cadet who was far, far away
 

Me And Superman Got In A Fight

Me and Superman got in a fight
I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite
I hit him so hard I busted his brain
And now I'm dating Lois Lane

 His friend Batman wanted some too,
I hit him in the head with my left shoe.
I kicked him in the temple with my left heel,
Now I'm driving the Batmobile.

 The Incredible Hulk, He came to help.
I hit him so hard he let out a yelp.
He growled real low and he tried to sound mean,
I ate him right up, Now I'm crappin' Green.

 

F-15 Eagle Rolling Down The Strip

F-15 rolling down the strip
Eagle driver gonna take a little trip

Rev it up, taxi up, count to four
Push the throttle forward, hear the engines roar

 Thirty thousand feet up in the sky
Flying this baby is a natural high

 Took a look at six o'clock and what did I see
A MIG-29 was coming after me

 Pulled it up, rolled it out much to his surprise
Shoulda seen the look in that turkey's eyes

Got behind him set my sights, let my missile fly
Blew that 29 right out of the sky

 

Dingle Dangle

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Man my feet are Swollen

 Don't let your Dingle Dangle Dangle in the Dirt
Pick up your Dingle Dangle and put in in your shirt

 Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Man my feet are Swollen

 Don't let your Dingle Dangle Dangle in the Mud
Pick up your Dingle Dangle and give it to your bud

 Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Man my feet are Swollen

 Don't let your Dingle Dangle Dangle in the Sand
Pick up your Dingle Dangle and hold it in your hand

 Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Man my feet are Swollen

 Don't let your Dingle Dangle Dangle in the Sea
Pick up your Dingle Dangle and give it to me...

 

Killer Pilot

If I was a pilot with my wings
I wouldn't be bothered by many things
I'd fly my killing craft up high
They'll think I'm in control of the sky

 If a commie and I should meet today
I would blow that sucker right out of the way
Everyone should realize - they should know
An Air Force Pilot's always ready to go

 I'm living to fly way up in the air
The enemy know I'll take his dare
Jets flying low or flying high
It'll be doing it till the day I die
 

Up On Your Left Foot, Down On Your Right

Up on your left foot, down on your right
Up every morning, out late at night
Cadet, cadet, where do you roam?
In the middle of nowhere, far from home

 Up on your left foot, down on your right
Up every morning, out late at night
Cadet, cadet, where have you been?
Out to the rifle range and back again

 Up on your left foot, down on your right
Up every morning, out late at night
Cadet, cadet, where can you run?
All over, doing it for fun

 Up on your left foot, down on your right
Up every morning, out late at night
Cadet, cadet, what do you see?
I see an FTO (CTO) staring at me

 

Up In The Morning

Up in the morning 'fore the break of day
I don't like it, no way
Eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as a hound dog, 'fore noon

Up in the morning at the break of day
Working so hard we never play
Running through the jungle where the sun don't shine
All I do is double time 

Up in the morning and out of the rack
Grab my clothes and put them on my back
Running cross the desert in the shifting sand
Drill Sergeant, look, I'll give you a helping hand

 Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell
I know that voice and I know it well
Drill Sergeant says you better hit the floor
And don't be walking going out the door

 I like the Air Force serving time
But all I do is double time
Double time here and double time there
Man this life, it's the best anywhere
 

I Can Run

I can run to  (place)  just like this
All the way to _______ and never quit
Hey Cadet (choose a new cadet), how ‘bout you?
Where you gonna run us to?

Everywhere We Go

Everywhere we go
People wanna know
Who we are
So we tell them

We're not the Army
Ground-pounding Army

We're not the Navy
Deck-swabbing Navy

We're not the Marine Corps
Jarhead Marine Corps

We're not the Coast Guard
Lazy, lazy Coast Guard

We are the Air Force
Mighty, mighty Air Force
