The Lyrics
My 975th song in 10 mos 3 days! This one deals with the early war immunity of the De Havilland Mosquito (aka Mossie) as it flies over the Reich... only to be caught by the first He-219As which some would argue as the greatest nightfighter of WW2. Armed with 6x 20mm MG-151s (4x nose + 2x ventral tray) and 2x 30mm MK-108s in oblique installation behind the cockpit, it was the most heavily armed production fighter of WW2. And with a speed of 419 mph to a height of 42,000 ft the He-219 Uhu (Eagle Owl) could and DID catch the Mosquito. In the first 6 sorties a He-219A shot down 20 RAF aircraft- 14 Lancs and 6 Mossies!!! Later came the German jet Me-262 which could also catch it. But the glory and relief from the LW first came with the He-219 which was also the first combat aircraft in production with an ejection seat!
Oh, Mossie toy, the guns, the guns are arming
From fore to aft, and in the ventral tray
Immunity's gone, and now the Heinkels are flying
It's you, it's you, that will be blown-away!
Fast and high recon bird of which we did shadow
Tried to intercept, but were too slow
"Eagle Owl" is now eager for battle
Oh, Mossie toy, oh, Mossie toy, down will you go!
So here I come, obliques ready for firing,
Four in the nose, ready as can be,
You can run, but your time has come for dying,
The greatest victim of the 219!
And I will not slow, can hear your Merlins purring,
Burst of MK firepower, victory!
As you flame down in spiral death I'm smiling,
"Wooden Wonder", burning bird, is downed finally!!!
From fore to aft, and in the ventral tray
Immunity's gone, and now the Heinkels are flying
It's you, it's you, that will be blown-away!
Fast and high recon bird of which we did shadow
Tried to intercept, but were too slow
"Eagle Owl" is now eager for battle
Oh, Mossie toy, oh, Mossie toy, down will you go!
So here I come, obliques ready for firing,
Four in the nose, ready as can be,
You can run, but your time has come for dying,
The greatest victim of the 219!
And I will not slow, can hear your Merlins purring,
Burst of MK firepower, victory!
As you flame down in spiral death I'm smiling,
"Wooden Wonder", burning bird, is downed finally!!!

Nice work!
