Pilot 1:
We fighter pilots fought the German chaps in World War Two.

Pilot 2:
In Hurricanes and Spitfires,
Performed heats of daring do.

Pilot 3:
The finest British pilots that the world could hope to have.

Pilot 1:
Binky.

Pilot 2:
Stinky.

Pilot 3:
Squiffy.

Pilot 4:
Franstisek.

Pilot 5:
And Stanislav!

Pilot 2:
Hold fire is that some foreign chaps,
Risking their necks?

Pilot 4:
That's right some of the bravest men,
We're Polish and Czech!

All:
We like to fire!
Beating Jerries' our one desire.

Pilot 2:
Yeah.

All:
All we do each night it pray
We'll live to fight another day!

Pilot 3:
Take that Hitler!

Pilot 1:
My name is Douglas Barder,
Let me tell of my ordeal.
Lost both legs in an accident,
These ones are not real.

Pilot 2,3,4,5:
There not real!

Pilot 1:
I left the Air Force after that,
Flying was a hobby.
But when war broke in thirty-nine,
Came back -

Pilot 2,3,4,5:
Just like Robbie!

Pilot 1:
Shot down twenty-two of them,
Led the air attack!
'Till finally the Luftwaffe,
Hit me back!
Oh no pretty baby.

All:
His plane's on fire.

Pilot 1:
Stuck in cold it's such a shame to retire.

Pilot 2:
Yeah.

All:
Never forget this great man's story,
And his role in Britain's glory.

Pilot 4:
We flew in tough conditions,
Lucky to survive five missions.

Pilot 2:
Not that I'm complaining,
That I've had just ten hours training.

Pilot 3:
Epic dogfights in the sky!
Outnumbered that's why.

Pilot 2:
We're now known by you,
As The Few...

Pilot 5:
(Spoken)
Phew, he missed me!

Pilot 2:
Fought Battle of Britain,
Was our pilots finest hour.
Although it seemed at first the Germans were the stronger power.

Pilot 1,3,4,5:
Oh so strong!

Pilot 2:
We mustered all our courage,
In summer 1940.
Scrambled Air Force squadrons to fly
Sortie after sortie!

Saw Nazi invasion off just as airmen should,
Our bravery meant Hitler wouldn't be back for good!
No no!

All:
We beat the Furhrer,
Without us frequent flyers,
Your life would be poorer.

Pilot 2:
Yeah.

All:
Britain securer,
Our story of heroics will forever endure.

Pilot 2:
Woah yeah!

All:
So I think you'll find it's true...

Winston Churchill:
"Never in the field of human conflict,
was so much owed, by so many, to so few.'
