Dear Mom (Bronco Song)
Performed by the 509th TFS
Mrs Murphy, Mrs Murph, Telegram for Mrs Murphy
Is it a singing telegram?
Well m’am, it’s rather sad news.
I’ve always wanted a singing telegram.
Well, here goes!
Dear Mom, your son is dead, he bought the farm today
He crashed his OV-10 on Ho Chi Min’s highway
It was a rocket pass and then he busted his ass,
Mmm, mmm, mmm
He went across the fence to see what he could see
And there it was as plain as it could be
It was a truck on the road with a big heavy load.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
He got right on the horn and gave the DASC a call
“Send me air, I’ve got a truck that’s stalled.“
The DASC said, “That’s all right, I’ll send you Pirate Flight.“
FOR I AM THE POWER!
The fighters checked right in, gunfighters two by two
Low on gas and tanker overdue
They asked the FAC to mark just where that truck was parked.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
The FAC he rolled right in with his smoke to mark
Exactly where that f--king truck was parked
And the rest is in doubt because he never pulled
