sort tense

you think they saw has come down i don't

think so

looked like a patrol coming back they

went into the tent

uh we sure bought us a peck of trouble

ah not have as much trouble as

battalion's gonna have tomorrow if they

don't find out about the german build

that we saw

without the radio how are we gonna let

them know i'll have to tell them i guess

on foot you're daydreaming pal

how far would you say we are inside our

lines well we were about

six miles in when we saw that german

column

and we flew 10 more minutes so that's

about

20 miles as the crow flies

25 miles on foot

oh with any look i can make it in seven

hours and without luck you couldn't do

it in seven years that's 25 miles of

germans

you'd be playing hide and seek all day

long

but there is another way hanley

what we'll fly out

in that

in that it should be shot

put out of its misery lucky sue may be

down but she's not out

you get me enough clot to fix that

hammer on get me one bolt oh 5 16 i'll

fix the landing gear

and then i'll cut some plugs for the gas

tank and you get the gas to put in the

tank and we'll be on our way
