My Grandpa's a Fighter Pilot

(Tune: My Old Man’s a Refrigerator Repairman)

My grandpa’s a fighter pilot, whaddya think about that

He flew Corsairs in World War Two, he barely made it back

He shot down several Zeroes, and after he was done'

He went back to Kentucky, ‘cuz he had a farm to run

And some day, if I can

I’m gonna be a fighter pilot just like that old man

My old man’s a fighter pilot, whaddya think about that

He flew F-4s in Viet Nam, he never made it back

For 12 long years he fought there, it’s where he met his wife

He settled in the Philippines to lead a quiet life

And some day, if I can

I’m gonna be a fighter pilot just like my old man

Now I am a fighter pilot, whaddya think about that

I flew the ‘Vark in Turkey, I flew it in Iraq

Now I fly the Viper, with missiles, bombs, and gun

And someday when he’s ready, I’ll give it to my son

And some day, if he can

He’s gonna be a fighter pilot just like his old man

And some day, if I can

I’m gonna be a fighter pilot just like my old man

And some day, if I can

I’m gonna be a fighter pilot just like that old man
