[bad word]  IN ON WING AND PRAYER 

One of our planes was missing 
Two hours overdue, 
One of our planes was missing 
With all it's gallant crew, 
The radio sets were humming, 
They waited for a word, 
Then a voice broke through the humming 
And this is what they heard:  [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer, [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer, 
Though there's one motor gone 
We can still carry on, [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer. 

What a show! What a fight! 
Yes, we really hit our target for tonight! 

How we sing as we limp through the air, 
Look below, there's our field over there, 
With our full crew aboard 
And our [bad word] in the Lord  [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer.
