Johnny was a paratrooper in the RAF,
Johnny was a paratrooper in the RAF,
Johnny was a paratrooper in the RAF,
But he ain't gonna fly no more

Glory, glory what a heckuva way to die,
Glory glory, what a heckuva way to die
Glory glory, what a heckuva way to die
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

He jumped out of the airplane without a parachute 
He jumped out of the airplane without a parachute 
He jumped out of the airplane without a parachute 
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

Chorus

He landed on the runway like a blob of strawberry jam
He landed on the runway like a blob of strawberry jam
He landed on the runway like a blob of strawberry jam
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

Chorus

They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

Chorus

She put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see
She put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see
She put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

Chorus

She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea 
She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea 
She served him up with crumpets when the Vicar came to tea 
And he ain't gonna fly no more...

Chorus
