Lyrics

Itazuke Tower, this is Air Force 801
I'm turnin' on the downwind leg, my prop is overrun
My coolant's overheated, the gauge says 121
You'd better get the crash crew out and get them on the run
Listen, Air Force 801, this is Itazuke Tower
I cannot call the crash crew out, this is their coffee hour
You're not cleared in the pattern, now that is plain to see
So take it once around again, you're not a VIP
Itazuke Tower, this is Air Force 801
I'm turnin' on my final, I'm runnin' on one lung
I gotta land this Mustang, no matter what you say
I'm gonna get my charts squared up before that Judgment Day
Now listen, Air Force 801, this is Itazuke Tower
We'd like to let you in right now but we haven't got the power
We'll send a note through channels and wait for the reply
Until we get permission back, just chase around the sky
Itazuke Tower, this is Air Force 801
I'm up in pilot's heaven and my flyin' days are done
I'm sorry that I blew up, I couldn't make the grade
I guess I should have waited 'til the landin' was okay
