Lyrics:

Well I went and ran away on a steam powered aereo plane
Ran away and damn near didn't come back again
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aereo plane
The wheel went around and up and down and inside and then back again

I'm sittin' on a 747 just watching those clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City
In a genuine old fashioned automatic steam powered aereo plane

Well I'd like to be a pilot on a steam powered aereo plane
Pull that pilot wheel around and inside and then back again
Well I'd wear a blue hat that said Steam Powered Aero plane
With gold all around the rim and then back again

Well I'm sittin' on a 747 just watching those clouds roll by
I can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
I'd rather be hittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City
In a genuine old fashioned automatic steam powered aereo plane

I'm sittin' on a 747 just watching those clouds roll by
I can't tell if it's sunshine or it's rain
I'd rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City
In a genuine old fashioned automatic steam powered aereo plane
