I looked up in the air and what did I see An airplane flying up above me I thought “How nice would it be To fly through the clouds and the blue sky To look down at the houses and the passersby Tree tops, roof tops, me-oh-my, Daddy don’t you know I want to fly…”
On an airplane, just like you On an airplane, I want to go
Well, my pop, my daddy He said to me He said “Son you don’t know what you say When you’re high up in an airplane You’ve got 35,000 feet between you and the ground.”
I said “Daddy don’t talk to me In ways I don’t understand what you mean An inch or a mile means nothing to me.” I want to fly as high as I can be On an airplane, I want to go
Well my mom chimed in, she said, “listen up, My sweet little child, my buttercup What’s the big deal about a metal machine that you fly in the air Faster than a big bird without flapping his wings?”
I said “Mom, the more you talk the more I want to fly!”
On an airplane, just like you On an airplane, I want to go I want to fly as high as I can be, on an airplane I want to go.
