Wings over the Navy, wings over the sea,
We're top of the service, the Navy's cavalry
High over the ocean flying wide and free
The soldiers, sailors and marines
Are demons at pinching all the scenes
Or posing in the magazines,
But we're the navy's eyes,
The Admiral's fireflies,
We're high-sky ridin' aeronautical guys,
Wings over the navy, sailing the seven skies.
