The 400 Squadron Song (400 Sqn's a hell of a place)
(Author unknown, but obviously brilliant! The melody is familiar but I can't
place it.)
400 squadron's a hell of a place
The organization's a bloody disgrace
It's run by a Wing CO who hasn't a clue
Especially up here at old Downsview
A weekend trip was promised to us,
If we can't fly you we'll take you by bus,
All that we saw was the bloody canteen,
To hell with those men & their flying machines.
Our CO says we must be looking our best
Our shoes must be shiny, our uniforms pressed
The shine on our shoes, you can tell at a glance
Will never compare with the ass of his pants
I believe there was more , something like:
"Warrants & sergeants all gentleman true
hands in there pockets with nothing to do"...
Do you know any other verses? Or the name of the tune it was based on?
Thanks to Doug (& The Slugs) Watkins for providing the missing bits.
