Medley: If I Only Had Wings/The Badge From Your Coat/Roll Out The Barrel
If I only had wings
Oh, what a difference it would make to things
All day long I'd be in the sky
Up on high
Talking to the birdies that pass me by
How the fellows would stare
To see me roaring past them through the air
Never tiring of the thrill it brings
If I only had wings
I'd be so fearless and bold (I'd be so fearless and bold)
That when the stories of my deeds were told (Deeds were told)
You'd see my picture in the papers (You'd see my picture in the papers)
And they would probably say (And they would probably say)
The RAF and me just had another good day (The RAF and me just had another good day)
If I only had wings
One little pair of those elusive things
You would never hear me complain again
If I only had wings
The badge from your coat
Will be close to my heart
It will always remind me of you
The badge from your coat
All the time we're apart
Is a token of love, that is true
It's funny, honey, since you've been away (It's funny, honey, since you've been away)
I love you, love you, more and more each day (I love you, love you, more and more each day)
The badge from your coat
Will be my rosary
Till the day when you come back to me (Till the day when you come back to me)
Roll out the barrel
We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel
We've got the blues on the run
Zing, boom, tararrel
Ring out a song of cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gangs all here
Roll out the barrel (Roll out the barrel)
We'll have a barrel of fun (We'll have a barrel of fun)
Roll out the barrel (Roll out the barrel)
We've got the blues on the run (We've got the blues on the run)
Zing, boom, tararrel (Zing, boom, tararrel)
Ring out a song of good cheer (Ring out a song of good cheer)
Now's the time to roll the barrel (Now's the time to roll the barrel)
For the gangs all here (For the gangs all here)
Oh, what a difference it would make to things
All day long I'd be in the sky
Up on high
Talking to the birdies that pass me by
How the fellows would stare
To see me roaring past them through the air
Never tiring of the thrill it brings
If I only had wings
I'd be so fearless and bold (I'd be so fearless and bold)
That when the stories of my deeds were told (Deeds were told)
You'd see my picture in the papers (You'd see my picture in the papers)
And they would probably say (And they would probably say)
The RAF and me just had another good day (The RAF and me just had another good day)
If I only had wings
One little pair of those elusive things
You would never hear me complain again
If I only had wings
The badge from your coat
Will be close to my heart
It will always remind me of you
The badge from your coat
All the time we're apart
Is a token of love, that is true
It's funny, honey, since you've been away (It's funny, honey, since you've been away)
I love you, love you, more and more each day (I love you, love you, more and more each day)
The badge from your coat
Will be my rosary
Till the day when you come back to me (Till the day when you come back to me)
Roll out the barrel
We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel
We've got the blues on the run
Zing, boom, tararrel
Ring out a song of cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel
For the gangs all here
Roll out the barrel (Roll out the barrel)
We'll have a barrel of fun (We'll have a barrel of fun)
Roll out the barrel (Roll out the barrel)
We've got the blues on the run (We've got the blues on the run)
Zing, boom, tararrel (Zing, boom, tararrel)
Ring out a song of good cheer (Ring out a song of good cheer)
Now's the time to roll the barrel (Now's the time to roll the barrel)
For the gangs all here (For the gangs all here)
