The Great Airplane Strike
Paul Revere & The
Raiders

I was down in L.A. town, when our
manager said "Jump"
I through my close and my
saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
I pushed
it to the airport and run to the ticket
line
Man said "Son, you could have saves 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, umm, huum

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
came back and said "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, umm, huum, baby

I walked
into the washroom and I built myself a
fire
Throw on lots of paper and the flames
kept gettin’ higher
The janitor come
runnin’ in, so scare 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 thing again
Waited 14
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
