Birdmen Lyrics by Peter Skellern

Happy Endings

0

[PETER SKELLERN as SKIP, JEREMY NICHOLAS as BADGER, MARTIN HOWELLS as JIMMY]
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best
\We soar way above all the rest
We've the eyes of a hawk
The wisdom of an owl
We don't swim or walk
We're neither fish nor fowl

We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the bees' knees
We bzz, bzz, bzz where'er we please
Swooping over hilltops
And climbing through the air
We're so close to heaven
He say, "who dat down dere"

We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the cream
Man, do we make a handsome team
The ladies in the squadron
Are mightily impressed
There just ain't no holding them
When I peel off my Mae West

We toil and we slave and never rest
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best

[Scat]

[PETER SKELLERN as SKIP, JEREMY NICHOLAS as BADGER]

Look upon this specimen of youth
Unquestioning, unfearing, uncouth
Every inch a leader
A man with grit and dash
Our hero

[MARTIN HOWELLS as JIMMY]
Huhhhh!

[PETER SKELLERN as SKIP]
A bit peculiar since his crash

Take, for example, his noble chin
Broad shoulders, bright eyes, and friendly grin
He's a credit to his country
While you sleep safe and sound

[MARTIN HOWELLS as JIMMY]
I'll be up there fighting

[PETER SKELLERN as SKIP, JEREMY NICHOLAS as BADGER]
Just to avoid his round

[All]

We sweep all before us from our path
At danger we shrug and gaily laugh
(Ha!)
We're eagles, immortal
Olympian in stance
The foe flee in fear
For they never stand a chance

We're dauntless and daring in our quest
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best

[Scat]

We're British, we're British through and through
The finest, the fewest of the few
We're giants, leviathans
Gods among mere men

When the enemy keeps coming
Who sends them home again?

Who's brave and courageous?
You've guessed
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best
We're birdmen, we're B-Flight, we're the best
