《The Great Airplane Strike》歌词

[00:00:01] The Great Airplane Strike - Paul Revere

[00:00:25] I was down in L.A. town,

[00:00:27] When our manager said "Jump."

[00:00:30] I threw my clothes and my saxophone,

[00:00:32] In a two by four bit trunk.

[00:00:35] I pushed it to the airport,

[00:00:37] And I ran to the ticket line.

[00:00:40] Man said "Son, you could have saved the run,

[00:00:43] Those airplanes just quit flyin'"

[00:00:46] If I can't leave here,

[00:00:47] I just might stay

[00:00:51] And that L.A. flyway

[00:00:53] Is goin' to be my home, umm, huum

[00:01:00] I ran to the terminal building,

[00:01:02] To fly by my airline

[00:01:05] The man said I could ride the wing

[00:01:08] And I said that was fine

[00:01:10] He said "I'll confirm your reservation,

[00:01:13] And put the plane on hold"

[00:01:16] He came on back and said

[00:01:18] "Sorry but that wing space just been sold"

[00:01:21] If I can't leave here, I just might stay

[00:01:26] And that L.A. flyway

[00:01:28] Is goin' to be my home, umm, huum, baby

[00:01:35] I walked into the washroom

[00:01:38] And I built myself a fire

[00:01:40] Threw on lots of paper

[00:01:43] And the flames kept gettin' higher

[00:01:47] The janitor come runnin' in,

[00:01:49] So scared his face was white

[00:01:52] So, I explained my situation,

[00:01:55] He said, "That's all right"

[00:01:57] If I can't leave here,

[00:01:59] I just might stay

[00:02:02] And that L.A. flyway

[00:02:04] Is goin' to be my home

[00:02:12] Next day I thought that I would leave,

[00:02:14] So I packed my things again.

[00:02:17] Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in,

[00:02:22] Spotted one that wasn't full.

[00:02:25] And I threw myself in fast,

[00:02:28] The driver said "I'm sorry,

[00:02:30] But this taxi's out of gas"

[00:02:33] If I can't leave here,

[00:02:35] I just might stay

[00:02:39] And that L.A. flyway

[00:02:41] Is goin' to be my home
