The Lyrics
Some WW2 aerial action! Note that I altered the chorus at the end and chose the latter "Fade Away" as the parody theme rather than "Fire Away". By doing this, I am giving credit to the Allies rather than giving the German POV :)
Skies are gray,
The Flak bursts are all around you
From bomb bays,
Sticks of bombs come falling through
Down below,
Rising, here come the Turbos
Getting through,
MK bursts seek to maul you
[Chorus]
Fire away
Fire away
Messers getting through
Fire away
Fire away
Before one gets you!
As you pray,
Waist gunners fire the M2s
On the way,
Escorts fight to protect you
Another raid,
This is Mission 22
Some afraid,
Of the mighty 2-6-2
Fire away
Fire away
Messers getting through
Fire away
Fire away
Before one gets you!
[Spoken:]
Propless planes are a surprise
Can see terror in their eyes
They watch as the escorts dive
.50s blazing from each side
Experten still have the drive
No matter the armada size
Fire away
Fire away
Messers getting through
Fire away
Fire away
Before one gets you!
Smokey haze,
The mission’s finally through
Another day,
The war will be ending soon
Save the day,
Messerschmitts are far too few
Back to base,
Stangs and Spits they pounce on you
Fade away
Fade away
Messers of no use
Fade away
Fade away
The jet Heinkels too!
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
(Repeat and fade)
The Flak bursts are all around you
From bomb bays,
Sticks of bombs come falling through
Down below,
Rising, here come the Turbos
Getting through,
MK bursts seek to maul you
[Chorus]
Fire away
Fire away
Messers getting through
Fire away
Fire away
Before one gets you!
As you pray,
Waist gunners fire the M2s
On the way,
Escorts fight to protect you
Another raid,
This is Mission 22
Some afraid,
Of the mighty 2-6-2
Fire away
Fire away
Messers getting through
Fire away
Fire away
Before one gets you!
[Spoken:]
Propless planes are a surprise
