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 airborn

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.

Rolling, turning, diving, going in again

Running, scrambling, flying

Rolling, turning, diving

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

Won't You?

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

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers

Let of a sharp burst and then turn away

Roll over, spin round to 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.

Rolling, turning, diving

Rolling, turning, diving, going in again

Rolling, turning, diving

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

Won't You?

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