I don't feel fear or panic

And nothing brings me down

I'm an aerospaceage warrior

I can fly sideways through sound

My reflexes and reactions

Are as fast as a machine

I'm the right stuff baby

The right stuff

I'm the right stuff baby

The right stuff

Just watch my trail



When the dial needle flickers

Around mach one or two

And something happens suddenly

I know exactly what to do

My hands move without thinking

And my feet like lightning too

I'm the right stuff baby

The right stuff

The right stuff baby

The right stuff

I never fail



My nerves are made of steel

And my eyes are eagle sharp

And what would freak the average man

Does not affect my heart

Not even if this jinxy jet

Should shake itself apart

'cause I'm the right stuff baby

The right stuff

The right stuff baby

The right stuff

As hard as nails

I never fail

Just watch my trail
