F-5E Lyrics by Dick Jonas

The Planes We Flew

0

[Verse 1]
He's flown the Foxtrot Five Echo
From Malaysia to Denmark and back
There ain't a fighter that flies in the sky
He's afraid of that he can't hack

[Chorus]
He'll taxi up into your saddle
Turn on his M39
He'll blow you to hell
With a twenty mike-mike shell
Then safe up his guns and go home

[Verse 2]
They taught him to fly down in Texas
They sent him to Nellis air patch
I've got an airframe for you, it's called Tiger Two
And a plane ain't been built she can't match

[Verse 3]
They strapped his ass into the cockpit
Went out to fly ACT
Against an F-4, that smoke-makin' whore
And the Phantom was flown by me

[Verse 4]
He butchеred McDonnell's Phantom
With Sidewindеrs, cameras, and guns
He laid on a tease and he called "if you please
Check six pilot and you'll see that I've won"

[Chorus]
He taxied up into my saddle
Turned on his M39
He blew me to hell with a twenty mike-mike shell
Then safed up his guns and went home

[Verse 5]
Next morning at quarter to seven
They sent him to fight once again
Against a Foxtrot Fifteen, turns tight fast and mean
They said there's no way he can win

[Verse 6]
He sat up in the front quarter
At a fairly respectable range
Hit the disappear switch, rode out a deep six
And the Fox Fifteen went down in flames

[Chorus]
He taxied up into the saddle
Turn on his M39
He blew him to hell
With a twenty mike-mike shell
Then safed up his guns and went home

[Verse 7]
He traveled all over the country
Worked with every jet fighter he found
He'd fight whom he choose, not once did he lose
And one day he flew it into the ground

[Verse 8]
He wanted to die as a legend
So he climbed it up seven miles high
He aimed it straight down, drove it into the ground
Screaming "That's how a fighter should die"

[Verse 9]
He died with his G-suit and boots on
With a throttle and stick in his hand
He'd never been beat, by any fighter he'd meet
And the Fox Five had died with a man

[Chorus]
He'll taxi up into your saddle
Turn on his M39
He'll blow you to hell
With a twenty mike-mike shell
Safe up his guns and go home
