THE PISSPOT SONG

The trouble with Hawk blokes is they don't understand
That to fly in a Hunter it takes a sharp hand-
So stick to your Pisspots and pull 7G
You can pull all you like but you'll never catch me!

You sit on the runway awaiting the kick
But the engine's so gutless it just makes me sick-
450's the limit with pylons hung under
If you wanna go quickly, you must fly the Hunter!

Can you tell me the problem, oh why's it so slow?
I opened the throttle and it just doesn't go!
I aborted the takeoff, Oh why can it be?
I got overtaken by a JP Mk 3!

The blue note is unique, a sound we all love
We've decided to rename the Hawk the Dove!
It's slow and it's boring, in fact it's real tame,
So come fly the Hunter, now that's a real game!

The sound of the Adour's like a fart in the bath.
You say that it's powerfull, well don't make me laugh!
It's like half a Jaguar and that's bad enough!
Your sure to get lost when your TACAN goes duff!

But the Hunter's not magic, it always breaks down.
The best bit is getting your feet on the ground.
And that is the end of our little refrain,
So I'll open my bottle and get pissed again!

Not sure of the tune but maybe someone can enlighten us?
