ACES HIGH
There goes the
siren that warns of 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 wheelblocks 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 our spitfires to face them
Heading straight
for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning,
diving
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.
