Forever from the sky.
Aviators—11 boys in aviator’s costume. 5 of them speak.
| 1st. | We’re Uncle Sam’s birdmen, with temperament strange
For we’re usually up in the air
When it comes to a fight with a foe in the clouds
No others with us can compare. |
| 2nd. | We swoop thru the air like a bird on the wing
We circle, we dive, and we rise.
High up o’er the world with our hearts free from care
We speed on our path thru the skies. |
| 3rd. | If the plane of an enemy ever approaches
In battle we promptly engage.
Till the foe falls in ruins, down, down to the earth
Our warfare relentless we wage. |
| 4th. | With nerves that are steady, with eyes that are keen
We traverse the uncharted blue
And we call to the stars and the moon as we pass
And they twinkle as if they all knew. |
| 5th. | From the skies of the world all intruders we’ll drive
And the air raids shall quite cease to be
When we’re finished there won’t be a Zeppelin left
To annoy this fair land of the free. |
They sing, air, “Kentucky Home”. This is very effective if accompanied with appropriate gestures.
1.
Just gaze on us, for we’re aviators bold
We circle and turn in the air.
We loop the loop and we dive and mount and glide
And our hearts are gay and free from care.
