Download a copy of the Air Force Song to learn the tempo and the words (see Resources below). Sing the Air Force Song with enthusiasm and energy. Start with the first verse: "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! Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, off with one Hell-of-a roar! We live in fame or go down in flame, (shout) Nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force!"
Proceed to the second verse. "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! Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wing, ever to soar. With scouts before and bombers galore, Nothing can stop the US Air Force!"
Continue with the bridge verse. "Here's a toast to the host of those who
love the vastness of the sky, To a friend we send this message
of his brother men who fly. We drink to those who gave their all of old
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold. A toast to the host of men we boast, The U.S. Air Force!"
Finish the Air Force Song with the last verse. "Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wing level and true, If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder, Keep the nose out of the blue, Flying men, guarding our nation's borders, We'll be there followed by more, In echelon, we carry on, Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!"
Speak any words noted in the lyrics that are in parenthesis. When you see the word "hey" at the end of a verse, shout it loudly. The word "hey" was changed from the original word "shout" that Robert Crawford, the composer of the Air Force Song included.
