The Official Song of the United States Army Air Corps

THE ARMY AIR CORPS

Words and music by
Capt. ROBERT CRAWFORD

Off we go -- into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high -- into the sun;
Here they come -- zooming to meet our thunder,
At'em, boys -- Give'er the gun!
(Give'er the gun now!)
Down we dive, -- sprouting our flame from under,
Off with one -- hell-uv-a roar!
We live in fame -- Or go down in flame.
Nothing'll stop the Army Air Corps!

Minds of men -- fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high -- into the blue;
Hands of men -- blasted the world asunder;
How they lived -- God only knew!
(God only knew then!)
Souls of men, -- dreaming of skies to conquer,
Gave us wings, -- ever to soar!
With scouts before -- and bombers galore.
Nothing'll stop the Army Air Corps!

Off we go -- into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings -- level and true;
If you'd live -- to be a gray-haired wonder,
Keep the nose -- Out of the blue!
(Out of the blue, boy!)
Flying men, -- guarding the nations border,
We'll be there, -- followed by more!
In echelon -- We carry on.
Nothing'll stop the Army Air Corps!
