The RAF like a nibble on those long plane rides
Cheese and cress over Tunisia
Tuna and flesh over Turkey
Oh yes, they like a sandwich or two
Real and strong in their cock pits.

The RAF like a nibble on those long plane rides
Cheese and cress over Tunisia
Tuna and flesh over Turkey…

Oh yes, they like a sandwich or two
Real and strong in their cock pits
Don’t get dill on the dashboard
Or relish on the read-outs.

Brown or white on the night flight
Rolls, loaf, or something else perhaps
Oh look, he’s got one of those bun things
With the little seeds.

Who’s a lucky boy then?
Someone’s taking care of you
Making sure their brave little hero doesn’t get hungry
At ten thousand feet

Oh look, he’s got one of those bun things
With the little seeds

Who’s a lucky boy then?
Someone’s taking care of you
Making sure their brave little hero doesn’t get hungry
At ten thousand feet

Who’s a lucky boy then?
Someone’s taking care of you
Making sure their brave little hero doesn’t get hungry
At ten thousand feet

Think of digesting problems though
Think of digestion
All that broken-down food sloshing around

Was it worth being the envy of the cabin crew
When you suffer stomachache
All the way from a RAF base in England
To your destination in main land Europe

All the way from the RAF base in England
To your destination in main land Europe.

Original lyrics and composition by Shadow Ring!
