Mother, I'm going to join the Air Force today
I don't care what the neighbors may say
But I'm going to join the Air Force today
Mother,I don't care what my father might think
Perhaps it's going to drive him to drink
But I don't care what my father might think
Don't ask me why, it's my mind and it's right
Don't ask me why, it's my mind
It's better, it's better than being alone
Alone on the ground. Now I find
Mother,I've got to join the Air Force you see
I've seen my friends and they all agree
That's it's better than joining the army or going to sea
Mother,I've go to join the Air Force you see
I've seen my friends and they all agree
That's it's better then joining the army or going to sea
Mother, Mother, Mother

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
