Trace your way back 50 years,

To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears

In the black above by the cruel searchlight,

Men will die men will fight - yeah!

Who shot who and who fired first?

Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst

No radar lock on - skin and bone,

The bomber boys are going home

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Nail that Fokker kill that son,

Gonna blow your guts out with my gun,

The weather forecasts good for war,

Cologne and Frankfurt? have some more!

Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky,

The Enola Gay was my last try

Now that this tailgunner's gone

No more bombers, just one big bomb

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
