The Great Airplane Strike (Remix)
Lyricist:Mark A Lindsay, Terry Melcher, Paul Revere
I was down in L.A. town When our manager said jump I threw my clothes and my saxophone In a two by four bit trunk
I pushed it to the airport And I ran to the ticket line Man said 'Son, you could save the run Those airplanes just quit flyin''
If I can't leave here I just might stay And that L.A. flyway Is goin' to be my home
I ran to the terminal building To fly by my airline The man said I could ride the wing And I said that was fine
He said 'I'll confirm your reservation And put the plane on hold' He comes back and says 'Sorry But that wing space just been sold'
If I can't leave here I just might stay And that L.A. flyway Is goin' to be my home, baby
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I walked into the washroom And I built myself a fire Threw on lots of paper And the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in So scared, his face was white So, I explained my situation He said that's all right
If I can't leave here I just might stay And that L.A. flyway Is goin' to be my home
Next day I thought that I would leave So I packed my things again I waited fourteen hours For a taxi to come in
Spotted one that wasn't full And I threw myself in fast The driver said 'I'm sorry But this taxi's out of gas'
If I can't leave here I just might stay And that L.A. flyway Is goin' to be my home
