The Lyrics
In Vienna, Paul Baumgartl designed by 1942 a strap-on autogyro for sporting use. This was quickly funded by the Nazis for a powered version called the Heliofly III-57 which was powered by two Argus 8 engines of 8 hp each that powered two contra-rotating blades. The engines themselves spun and acted as counter-balancers. Once that flew Baumgartl moved forward with the Heliofly III-59 small one-man helo. In Austria, Baumgartl was known for his Heliofly machines while Nagler-Rolz perfected the mini-copter and WNF developed the jet helo with wing tip burners. All were examamined by the US postwar...
Strap-on helo that flew
the Heliofly
Baumgartl was flying by ‘42
Was sport flyin’
Gyro-copt flyin’
Vienna, tested it
Breakin’ new ground
Powered-version better
Could fly and set a man down
Strap-on helo that flew
the Heliofly
Reached sky
It once flew
It once flew
It once flew
With twin Argus 8s
Worked as a pair
Counter-balancers
Two coaxial blades
Sight to see
Strap-on helo that flew
the Heliofly
(Baumgartl moved on to a new Heliofly III)
the Heliofly
Baumgartl was flying by ‘42

Could fly and set a man down
Strap-on helo that flew

Reached sky
It once flew
It once flew
