Steam Powered Aereo Plane

Well, I dreamt I went away

On a steam powered aereoplane

I went and I stayed and

I damm near didn't come back again

And I didn't go very fast

On a steam powered areoplane

Oh, the wheel went around and up and down

And inside and then back again

Sittin' on a 747 just a watchin' them clouds roll by

Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain, rain, rain

Rather be a sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City

On a genuine ol' fashioned authentic steam powered aereoplane

Well I'd like ot be a pilot

of that steam powered aereoplane

Well, I'd pull that pilot wheel around

and then back again

And I'd wear a blue hat, yeah

That says 'steam powered aereoplane'

In letters that go 'round the brim and then back again

Sittin' on a 747 just a watchin' them clouds roll by

Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain, rain, rain

Rather be a sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City

On a genuine ol' fashioned authentic steam powered aereoplane
