The Air Force Song (Verse 3)
Here is a toast to the host of those who Love the vastness of the sky; To a friend we send a message of his Brother men who fly. We drink to those who gave their all of old, Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold. A toast to the host of men we boast The US Air Force.

The Air Force Song (Verse 2)
Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, Sent it high into the blue; Hands of men blasted the world asunder, How they lived God only knew! (God only knew, Hey!) Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer Gave us wings, ever to soar. With scouts before and bombers galore, (hey) Nothing can stop the US Air Force!
The Air Force Song (Verse 1)
Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun; Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, At 'em boys, give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun, hey!) Down we dive spouting our flames from under, Off with one hell-uv-a-roar! We live in fame or go down in flame, (hey) Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!
The Air Force Song (Verse 4, final verse)
Off we go into the wild sky yonder, Keep the wings level and true! If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder, Keep the nose out of the blue (Out of the blue, hey!) Flying men guarding our nation's borders, We'll be there followed by more. In echelon we care on! (Hey) Nothing'll stop the US Air Force.
