The Ballad of Willie Watkins

So I was up there flying high in style right over Spain

But then I feel something, there's a thudding and then suddenly

What! Hot dog!

The plane is stalling

Jeez Louise!

I think I'm falling

And that big old ocean's calling out but

I've got a bad feeling about this

I, I gotta good feeling

An American pilot

I'm feeling good about this crash

He's crashed in Huelva

'Cos though drowning is not too appealing

His name is Willie Watkins

I do so love to cause a great big splash

And he's very loud

I've

Charles, wait-

I've gotta bad feeling

Keep it together

Our plan is going down the drain

It's a bump in the road!

The Germans will be disbelieving

Keep breathing

When they hear two pilots crashed in neutral Spain

Pilots crash all the time it's fine

Oh I, feel fine and dandy

I think he needs a physician

Missions hit these snags all the time

It's a bad sign!

'Cos when your plane goes down and you can't see land

You'll soon be lying on the sand, so cut loose ya goose!

And keep on feeling fine

Skippidi-dee ba da du-doo

Charles, please stop dry heaving

This could sink the mission!

Well this is war

Things never go quite to plan

Ba-da!

Where the hell's our man?

Huelva for London

London receiving

Skee-ba-di-da doo-ba doob-bay

Another pilot's washed up on the sand

And he's dead this time! (Phew!)

See Charles, ha-ha!

The plan is working like I knew it would

Bill's arrived our efforts weren't in vain

But they smell a rat!

What?

Two planes crash in the very same spot

They're chopping Bill open to see what's what

A coroner's coming

The top man here in Spain

Oh god!

Oh I

Charlie it's fine

I gotta good feeling

An autopsy!

I'm feeling good about this corpse

Sure Bill's skin has slowly been peeling

Congealing

Er but he'll be ruled a drowning

Spilsbury swore!

And you trust that man?

Of course!

So what's the use in fretting

Oh god I'm sweating

There's no telling what another day will bring

I need a drink!

For there could be a hole in the boat

And who knows if you'll sink or you'll float

Nice

Thanks!

But everything will work out swell

If we keep on feeling

Haselden get to that autopsy and make sure they think he drowned!

Fine!

Jean, can you get some work done please

Goodnight!
