LYRICS

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
