At Second Sight
The 627 Squadron Song - Susan Allen and William Topper, 1945

                Tune – Clementine

                Six Two Seven Marker Squadron
                Six Two Seven know the name
                Six Two Seven, Oslo daylight
                Won for them immortal fame

                Georgie Curry, in a hurry
                To get his story off to base
                But he must wait, oh! Yes he must wait
                To find who dropped one out of place

                Dortmund Ems was marked by Rupert
                Dropped his T.I. fair and square
                Yes, the photo showed the T.I.
                But the target wasn’t there!

                Squadron Leader, now Controller,
                Left his right and proper place,
                Just to mix it with the B.A.S.O.
                And to fix “all we at base”

                Tripper Topper, just another
                Whose job it was to beat the Hun
                Did some wizard runs at Wainfleet
                But that’s not how Britain won.

                Six Two Seven Marker Squadron
                Six Two Seven know the name
                Six Two Seven, Oslo daylight
                Won for them immortal fame
