You all know Casey was the engineer
but have you heard the story of the bombardier?
Casey Junior was the gentlemen's name
he's the fighting son of Casey and his name was the same
The call to scramble came at half past four
but Casey started out to even up the score
He mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand
and was set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land

Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones, he mounted to the cabin
set to knock the stuffing out of Tojo land

In Shangri la they got aboard the plane
the ceiling was high not a sign of rain
They revved up the motors and got set to go
to pay an unexpected visit on Tokyo
In climbed Casey he's the bombardier
Doolittle read the orders and they gave a cheer
For land of baron hanging in the base below
were some mighty pretty calling cards for Tokyo
They flew and they flew across the deep blue sky
with every one among them there do or die
And let me tell you people the feeling was grand
when they sighted up the targets over Tojo land
Now all of the sounds they ever heard that day
the sweetest one of all was "Bombs away!"
They strafed 'em in the harbor and they strafed 'em in the square
Then they headed down for a landing in you know where

Casey Jones, was a working for the nation
Casey Jones, with his orders in his hand
Casey Jones, was a working for the nation
and he sent those mommas to the promised land
