Note: Words in parentheses are sponken, not sung.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,Climbing high into the sun;Here they come zooing to meet our thunder,At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gun!(Give ‘er the gun now!)Down we dive, prouting our flame from under.Off with one heckuva roar!We live in fame or go down in flame.Hey! Nothing ‘ll stop the U.S. Air Force.

The Navy HymnReverend William Whiting and Reverend John B. Byke

Eternal Father, strong to save,Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep,Its own appointed limits keep.

Oh hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea! Amen.

Eternal Father, lend Thy grace Tothose with wings who fly thro’ space,Thro wind and storm, thro’ sun and rain,Oh bring them safely home again.

Oh Father, hear an humble prayer,For those in peril in the air! Amen.

Oh Trinity of love and pow’r,Our brethren shield in danger’s hour,From rock and tempest, fire and foe,Protect them where so e’er go.

Thus evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise from land and sea! Amen.

John Phillip Sousa

Let martial note in triumph floatAnd liberty extend its mighty handA flag appears ‘mid thunderous cheers,The banner of the Western land.The emblem of the brave and trueIts folds protect no tyrant crew;The red and white and starry blueIs freedom’s shield and hope.Other nations may deem their flags the bestAnd cheer them with fervid elationBut the flag of the North and South and WestIs the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation.
