Lyrics
Fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot, you're losing the war again When will you ever learn? Fighter pilot, you're making a big mistake And setting a bad example Fighter pilot, tell me about your life, and are the children well? Fighter pilot, what do you do with yourself at night? When will you ever learn? Fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot, it's a summer of thunderstorms The sky is black and blue You're a hero now But you're a terrible man, fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot Fighter pilot La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la Bandits here, bandits there, angels at ten o'clock You're going down Fighter pilot, say goodbye You're never coming in to land (You're going down, you're going down) Fighter pilot, say goodbye You're going down (you're going down, you're going down) Fighter pilot (you're going down) Say goodbye (you're going down, you're going down) You're going down (you're going down, you're going down) Fighter pilot, say goodbye You're going down (you're going down, you're going down) Fighter pilot, say goodbye
