[00:00.00]The Great Airplane Strike - Paul Revere & The Raiders/Mark Lindsay
[00:26.25]I was down in L A town
[00:28.40]When our manager said"Jump"
[00:31.52]I threw my clothes
[00:32.91]And my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk
[00:37.01]I pushed it to the airport and I ran to the ticket line
[00:42.21]Man said"Son you could have saved the run
[00:45.15]Those airplanes just quit flyin'"
[00:47.33]If I can't leave here I just might stay
[00:52.78]And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home
[00:58.67]Uh-huh
[01:01.92]I ran to the terminal building
[01:03.94]To fly by my airline
[01:07.22]The man said I could ride the wing
[01:09.88]And I said that was fine
[01:12.72]He said"I'll confirm your reservation
[01:14.15]And put the plane on hold"
[01:18.45]He come back and said"Sorry
[01:19.92]But that wing space just been sold"
[01:23.14]If I can't leave here I just might stay
[01:28.83]And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home
[01:33.29]Um-hum baby
[01:37.92]I walked into the washroom
[01:39.60]And I built myself a fire
[01:43.35]Threw on lots of paper
[01:44.96]And the flames kept gettin' higher
[01:48.83]The janitor come runnin' in
[01:50.41]So scared his face was white
[01:54.40]So I explained my situation
[01:57.42]He said"That's all right"
[01:58.68]If I can't leave here I just might stay
[02:05.02]And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home
[02:10.92]Next day I thought that I would leave
[02:16.82]So I packed my things again
[02:19.71]I waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in
[02:25.32]Spotted one that wasn't full
[02:27.67]And I threw myself in fast
[02:30.95]The driver said"I'm sorry
[02:32.75]But this taxi's out of gas"
[02:35.60]If I can't leave here I just might stay
[02:41.62]And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home
