Throw A Nickel On The Grass

[Refrão] E Oh, Halleliua, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass--Save a fighter pilot's ass. E Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass and you'll be saved. [Verso 1] E F# I was cruising down the Yalu, doing six and twenty per E I cried to my flight leader, Oh won 't you save me sir? E F# Got two big flak holes in my wing, and my engines outta gas. E Mayday, mayday, mayday, I got six MIGS on my ass. [Refrão] E Oh, Halleliua, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass--Save a fighter pilot's ass. E Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass and you'll be saved. [Verso 2] E F# I shot my traffic pattern, and to me it looked all right, E The airspeed read one-ninety, I really racked it tight! E F# Then the airframe gave a shudder, the engine gave a wheeze, E Mayday, mayday, mayday, spin instructions please. [Refrão] E Oh, Halleliua, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass--Save a fighter pilot's ass. E Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass and you'll be saved.

E Oh, Halleliua, Oh, Halleliua E Throw a nickel on the grass and you'll be saved.
