Ready Room Ditty Lyrics

[Boomerang]

Anybody remember the words to the Ready Room Ditty about the unfortunate
Naval Aviator who didn't quite get aboard, but "the Pratt and Whitney Man
said it couldn't be the engine 'cause the @#$ @#% things don't QUIT!" etc.
etc. What preceeds and what follows? Anybody? Long time ago, I know....

Here is a link to a journal where it was printed, but apparently you
need a login to access the content. The page says that most libraries
have login privileges, so I may try my local library.
