The Ballad of Harmon Rabb
Music: The Ballad of the Green Berets
Fighting Harmon in the sky,
Will he live or will he die;
He's a man who must have his way Wait a min aren't they all that way? Golden wings upon his chest,
He believes he is the best;
Land the plane is the rule
But our Harmon is a fool Every time he's allowed to fly You can be sure someone will cry Over the land or over the sea His co-pilot I'd not want to be He goes up and he comes down But his commanders always frown
Where's your plane, they want to know He points out that distant glow But I came back, I am alive So what if my plane took a dive? Yes I've crashed a few planes in my day But they keep lettin' me take 'em out to play Soon no one will want to fly with me That's a day I'm dreading you see Cuz I've always known I will die alone Crashing into the ground or into the foam
