[Verse 1]

The birds fly a lot better than we do

See how they wheel and bank and glide, perfect

All in one

Wings, body, tail, all in one

Someday, I'm going to build a plane that flew just like a bird

[Pre-Chorus]

It isn't exactly a bird I'm creating, is it?

At least it's a curious sort of bird

[Chorus]

A bird that breathes fire and spits out death and destruction

A Spitfire bird

A Spitfire bird

[Verse 2]

Faster, always faster

What a strange looking machine

You can't see a Spit in the air without getting a kick out of it

[Chorus]

Why, it is like a bird

A Spitfire bird

A Spitfire bird

[Bridge]

It's tiring stretching out for something that's just out of reach

But I'll get it

After all, what I want isn't as easy as all that

It's got to do four hundred miles an hour

Turn on a sixpence

Climb ten thousand feet in a few minutes

Dive at five hundred without the wings coming off

Carry eight machine guns

[Interlude]

Hello Hunter Leader, Hunter Leader

Bandits approaching Beachy from southeast, angels one-five, over

Bandits are now about three to four miles south of Beachy

You should see them any minute, they're down south of you

Hello Hunter Leader, Hunter Leader, Flapper Control calling

Can you see them? Can you see them?

[Chorus]

A Spitfire bird

A Spitfire bird
