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] #39; in on a wing and a prayer, [bad word] #39; in on a wing and a prayer,
Though there's one motor gone
We can still carry on, [bad word] #39; 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] #39; in on a wing and a prayer.
