ODE TO COMBAT SENT
We are Riedel’s Raiders
We’re the terrors of the night
We’re dirty sons a bitches
Who’d rather fuck than fight
Refrain
So eyes right, balls tight
Peters to the front
We’re Riedel’s Raiders
We’re on the hunt for cunt
Our pilot is a master
A man who knows his thing,
But every time he lands the plane
He smashes up a wing.
Refrain
With Larry on the job
We never wet our socks
Cause Fountain never screws up,
He just gets off his rocks.
Refrain
Stachowski is a Polack
Who tries to be a Czech
Whenever we go wheels up
He sweats around the neck.
Refrain
Hans is quite a talker,
He likes to drink his beer.
And when he’s had too many,
He decimates your ear.
Refrain
Chief Davey is our ground crew,
He likes to drink his brew.
He lines us up with Frauleins
Who blow us in the loo.
Refrain
Ken Koehn is our Polack
He is a misplaced Herm.
He’d rather eat a pussy
Than trample on a germ.
Refrain
Our Polack is an extra,
Bitburger is his beer.
He stands with hands in pockets
His body filled with fear.
Refrain
Ron really likes to party
He sets a furious pace, when e’er
He sees a barmaid
He hungers for some face.
Refrain
We’re Riedel’s Raiders
With Davey at the base
We fly all day for peanuts
Ron meets us with a case.
Refrain
Davey is a card
His pecker’s always hard.
He drinks his beer with uncommon cheer
And screw bufflers in the yard.
Refrain
Roger is a nice guy
With very little hair
And the big blonde in the corner
Has quite an awesome pair!
Refrain
Cleve Reagan is a cock-hound
A ditty-bopper too.
He’d rather chase some pussy
Than drink that Mountain Dew
Refrain
Marty P’s our AMT,
Crewrest is his place
Though the girls he finds are ugly,
They still sit on his face!
Refrain
We’ll castrate the colonel*
With a broken piece of glass.
We’ll steal the base’s flagpole
And run it up his ass!
Heiney-winey, God Almighty
Who the Hell are we?
We are Riedel’s Raiders
Out on a spree!
*The Bitburg wing commander who didn’t care to provide the support he was tasked with. He gave Ron Davey a hard time.
