The Tempest - song! (3,3MB)
Lyrics:
When time ran out for the German Reich late in 1944
the war torn skies of Europe were filled with a new and mighty roar.
It roamed the air, so powerful, with a deep and grunting growl.
So German pilot: Watch out! Beware! The Tempest is on the prowl.
This aircraft was a pilots dream. It obeyed his every move.
A graceful, mean fighting machine, and so it was to prove.
It rolled, it dived, it raced the sky with overwhelming speed.
And its rockets, bombs and heavy guns would see the Germans bleed.
So Focke Wulfs and Messerschmitts watch out and guard your trail.
And woe the sorry Junker with a Tempest on its tail.
The London people faced again a change towards the worse.
They called upon the Tempest then, to help to fight the curse.
It was the vicious "Doodlebug", that poured all over town.
The Tempest chased the flying bombs and shot them to the ground.
So Focke Wulfs and Messerschmitts watch out and guard your trail.
And woe the sorry Junker with a Tempest on its tail.
It strafed the trains and roads in France, the Germans fled in fear.
They saw no hope, they had no chance, with the Tempest in the air.
And when the Me 262 was thrown into the game,
the Tempest took the challenge up, and lived up to its name.
So Focke Wulfs and Messerschmitts watch out and guard your trail.
And woe the sorry Junker with a Tempest on its tail.
The mighty Napier Sabre engine bellowed out its roar.
So give a hail and cheer the greatest fighter of the war.
