Heinz E. Coordes
Once there was an F-4 jock
By the name of Heinz E. Coordes
Heinz was long and lank and mean
And a man of very few words
Heinz was a GIB that knew his stuff in bomb and strafe and cap
He could navigate his AC to any place that's on the map
Heinz1 AC was Leo Hicks
Field grade and debonair
But he wouldn't go to Route Pack Six
Unless ol' Heinz was there
Leo said, "I got a shit-hot GIB that really knows his stuff;
If you play poker with Heinz E. Coordes, don't never
call his bluff!"
They rained bombs and CBUs
AN over North Vietnam
Gettin1 shot at with triple-A guns
And Uncle Ho's MiGs and SAMs
All of the way from the bridge to Kep, to Bac Mai and Phuc Yen
And all across the topside of Route Pack One, down the coast and back again
Leo Hicks was the chief honcho
Of !Af Flight's gallant men
And Heinz E. Coordes was Leo's GIB
And he saved ol' Leo's skin
He took Leo to Route Pack Six more times than he cares to say
Heinz E. Coordes is the reason that Leo's alive and well today
