   We're good on horses, good with guns
   We smell, but so does everyone

   We pilots take you anywhere
   We'll be your father in the air
   We'll try to look calm and cool
   We're as scared as all of you
  
   There are soldiers, sailors, stuntmen, jailers,
   Jewelers, G-men, unless your Daddy's filthy rich,
   You need a
   La, la, an occupation for you
