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 [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer
Thought there's one motor gone
We can still carry [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer.

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

Now we sing as we limp through the air
Oh. 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

Though there's one motor gone
We can still carry [bad word]  in on a wing and a prayer
