We shall fight in France
We shall fight on the seas and oceans
We shall fight with growing confidence
And growing strength in the air
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be
We shall fight on the beaches
We shall fight on the landing ground
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets
We shall fight in the hills
We shall never surrender

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out of the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin 'round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109's out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns
