Aces High

"We shall go on to the end.

We shall fight in France

We shall fightover the seas and oceans.

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.

We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be

we shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight on the hills.

We shall never surrender."

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

Got to get airborne before it's too late

Running, scrambling, flying

Rolling, turning, diving

Going in again

Running, scrambling, flying

Rolling, turning, diving

Run,

Live to fly, fly to live, do or die

Won't you

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 to come in behind them

Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o'clock are moving 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

Rolling, turning, diving

Rolling, turning, diving

Run,

Live to fly, fly to live, do or die

Won't you

Run, live to fly, fly to live

Aces high...
