Song lyrics to Keep ‘Em Flying by Bill Coleman, as performed in Abbott and Costello’s “Keep ‘Em Flying“
Keep ’em flying, keep ’em in the sky
Keep ’em flying, hitting hard and high
On every lip, the fervent cry
Keep ’em flying Uncle Sam
Keep ’em flying, every headline screams
Keep ’em flying, Army fighting teams
On thirty thousand different beams
Keep `em flying Uncle Sam
[Orchestral Interlude[
[Spoken]
So mount to the cabin
Give it the gun.
Home with the Air Corps
To the sun
[Sung]
Keep ’em flying, clear the hangar floor
Keep ’em flying, spread your wings once more
From pole to pole, from shore to shore
Let thirty thousand motors roar
And thirty thousand eaglets soar
Keep `em flying Uncle Sam
