There goes the siren that warns of the air raid



Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak



Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne



Got to get up for the coming attack.







Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines



Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste



Gathering speed as we head down the runway



Gotta get airborne before it's too late.







Running, scrambling, flying



Rolling, turning, diving, going in again



Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die



Run, fly to live, live to fly, Aces high.







Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers



Let off a sharp burst and then turn away



Roll over, spin round, and come in behind them



Move to their blindsides and firing again.







Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us



Ten ME-109's out of the sun



Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them



Heading straight for them I press down my guns.







Running, scrambling, flying



Rolling, turning, diving, going in again



Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die



Run, fly to live, live to fly, Aces high.
