Barnacle Bill The Pilot Lyrics by Oscar Brand

1975

The Air Force is the life for me
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'll jump my ship and I'll leave the sea
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
I'll fly so high I'll pass the sky
And gravitation I'll defy
I'll make the ladies faint and sigh
Said Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Pretty soon you'll lose that grin
Pretty soon you'll lose that grin
Pretty soon you'll lose that grin
Cried the fair young maiden
Well, I'm rough and tough and I know my stuff
Said Barnacle Bill the Pilot
I'll fly this ship 'till I've had enough
Said Barnacle Bill the Pilot
Oh I know the struts, I know the fins
I know the barrel rolls and spins!
I know the outs, I'll learn the ins
Said Barnacle Bill the Pilot
You're out of gas, you must go down
You're out of gas, you must go down
You're out of gas, you must go down
Cried the fair young maiden
Well I'm a cockeyed Finn if I'll give in
Said Barnacle Bill the Pilot
I've made my way through thick and thin
Said Barnacle Bill the Pilot
He kicked the bar, he pulled the stick
He hit the ground like a ton of brick
I'd tell ya more but it makes me sick
For Barnacle Bill the Pilot
Here's some flowers for his grave
Here's some flowers for his grave
Many brave hearts lie asleep in the deep
Cried the fair young maiden
