Wave to the Pilots

 

Don't you dare evacuate me,

not ready to come home.

I'm sitting on a lounger on the sand

Looking at battleships in the bay

The jets are rattling my cocktails...

Children give them a wave.

Yes, wave to the pilots folk,

It's not us under attack.

Wave to the pilots folk

Let's see if they wave back.

There was an explosion in the town,

Apparently a school was hit by mistake

But it was locals not holidaymakers

So it didn't really disrupt our day

Don't get me wrong, it's sad when kids die,

But it's their war not mine.

Our hotel is on the edge of it all

And our rep tell us everything is fine.

So wave to the pilots folk

It's not us under attack

Wave to the pilots folk

Let's see if they wave back

Oh it's having an impact on us,

A refund will certainly be due.

The death of some suppliers

Meant changes to the evening menu.

When you've paid what we've paid

You expect the perfect break

But bombs, bullets and casualties

Are an exciting bonus for the family.

So wave to the pilots folk

It's not us under attack

Wave to the pilots folk

Let's see if they wave back.

Look

Here's a pic of the wife and kids

With a real explosion in the background

We saw a ship torpedoed

I had a beer

And watched the crew drown.

So wave to the pilots folk

It's not us under attack

Wave to the pilots folk

Let's see if they wave back.
