With a downward blastFrom his doughy arseLike a lance of fireHe shot up the mastAs he mumbled blasphemous epitaphs"I am the sailor!"And the captain cried with a mighty heave-ho"Enemy sighted on the starboard bow!Load your cannons and let 'em go,For God is on our side, boys."In the dust and sandOf a foreign landWith hands afireHe buried his friendHe beat his browAnd cursing foul he said,"I am the soldier."And the private laughed as he reached the bluffHis gun barrel smoking, "Enough's enough,We've done more damage than old MacDuffAnd God is full of pride, boys."He flew through the flakLetras de cancionesOn the first attackA bomb bay openOn a missile's back"Here's the payload,"He crudely spat,"I am the airman."And the general sighed, "This is our last stand,Let every man say 'Amen'.For we'll not see daylight againAnd tonight we meet our God, boys."Well, the airman plunged into the pineAnd the sailor drowned in the briny brineAnd the soldier in haste put his foot on a mineAnd it comes to all in time, boysFor on the day they died, boysGod was on the other side, boys From Letras Mania
