TEN LITTLE AIRMEN.
Ten little airmen flew across the Rhine, One met a Hcinkel and then there were nine. Nine little airmen came home rather late, The sentry arrested one, and then there were eight. Eight little airmen dreamt they were in heaven, One died and went there, and then there were seven. Seven little airmen thought planes and beer would mix, One tried to prove it, and then there were six. Six little airmen tried a bomb-dive, One hit a barbed-wire fence and then there were five. Five little airmen thought they’d go to war,
One failed to pass the doc. and then there were four. Four little airmen went out on the spree, The Black Maria collected one and then there were three Three little airmen, over Berlin flew,
One took a nose-dive and then there were two. Two little airmen thought the war was fun, Tried to capture Hitler —and then there was one. The last little airman, not to be outdone, Fuelled his plane with whiskey—and then there were none!
