Lyrics
Dr.
Forrest Byrd is in the cockpit!
Flying respirators to the world!
He flew P -47s in the
Second World War Studied how the pilots breathe when the engines roar
Took regulator valves from an old fighter plane
Combined them with shortcake tins to conquer human pain
Invented the Mach 7 in a little green case
The greatest respirator in the human race
When the polio wards were weeping on the floor
Forrest fired up his airplane and took off for more
Fly, bird, fly through the turbulent sky
The aviator biomed flying on high
Grass horns roaring, propellers spin
Carrying the breath where the shadows creep in
Little green box saving millions of souls
From the polio virus to the emergency goals
Look at him soar, look at him glide
Bringing the life to the hospital side
He'd land on dirt runways in the middle of the night
Deliver 50 units in the airfield beacon light
Show the nurses how to calibrate the inspiratory flow
Watching all the blue -faced babies turn into a healthy glow
No red tape could stop him, no mountain was too tall
The aviator engineer who answered every call
Fly bird, fly through the turbulent sky
The aviator biomed, flying on high
Brass horns roaring,
propellers spin Carrying the breath where the shadows creep in
Little green box, saving millions of souls
From the polio virus to the emergency goals
Look at him soar, look at him glide
Bringing the life to the hospital side
Flight plan delivered A million breaths
restored Blue skies
