"I LOVE QATAR”
(Sang to the tune of “I Love This Bar” by Toby Keith)
Written by Timbo Clendenen, AGE Contractor, Ramadan 2009

 

We got 60’s, we got C-10’s
86’s and SGNSC
And we got light alls, we got hammers
We got beat up jammers
And AGE Contractors only work 8 hour shifts
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
 
We got sand storms, we got hot sun
Broken AC’s are never fun
And we got Heavies, sometimes Fighters
Mid Shift’s pullin’ all nighters
And the veterans bitch about the PT Test
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
 
(Chorus:)
I love Qatar
It’s my kind of Base
Just walkin’ through the front gate
Puts a big smile on my face
No CAC Card, and you won’t get far
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
 
I’ve seen short tours, we got old Techs
Dirty AGE boys and rednecks
We got NCO’s, lots of Airmen
I’ve seen friends leave and come back again
And the Air Force guys only get 3 beers a day
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
Yes I do
 
I like my Bobtail (I like my Bobtail)
I like my work cards (I like my work cards)
Sometimes I leave ‘em on the flight line
Then some Crew Chief turns me in
 
(Chorus:)
But I love Qatar
The sun burns my face
Just waitin’ in the search pit
Puts a big smile on my face
No CAC Card, and you won’t get far
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I just love ol’ Qatar
 
We got retirees, a big tattooed man
And foreign guys I can’t understand
We got inspections and we got SI’s
A dumb ass and a new guy
If you get too drunk just hope it’s not Ramadan
 
Reason number 672 why
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I just love Qatar
Clean it up Airmen
Swing Shift’s over
It’s time for turnover
 
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I love Qatar
I just love it
