What courage
what tenacity
those russian girls pursued
pilots like no others
a young and fearless brood
who bombed the german cities
conducting sortees they
had stamina and chivalry
and were mindful all the way
Russian women surely
the endurance took them far
an iron cross if you shot one down
of course they were the star
performers in the night sky
heroic through and through
mettlessome and spirited
ready just to do
for they really believed
they had the where for all to be
as gallant as the fighters
so dogged actually
and they did really marvellously
its what women do so well
send those men from god knows where
into a firery hell
I have to take my hat off to them
courage is their thing
they bring a fresh complexion
to what war is
rumbling
far across the horizon
they took it to them hard
The Russian girls were special
they were the special guard
