“Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines” (1st grade)
Those magnificent men and their flying machines
They go up tiddly up up
They go down tiddly down down
They impress all the ladies and steal all the scenes
With their up tiddly up up
And their down tiddly down down
Up, down, flying around
Looping the loop and defying the ground
They’re all frightfully keen
Those magnificent men and their flying machines
Solo 1:
They can fly upside down with their feet in the air
They don’t think of danger, they really don’t care
Solo 2:
Newton would think that he made a mistake
To see those young men and the chances they take
Up, down, flying around
Looping the loop and defying the ground
They’re all frightfully keen
Those magnificent men and their flying machines
Those magnificent men
Those magnificent men
Those magnificent men and their flying machines
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Just pack your bags, don’t get on a cruise
We’ll have fun in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Ac apulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
[Instrumental---7 sets of 8)]
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
Just say those words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Ac apulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!
70s Airplane Medley (Mighty Mites)
All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go
I’m standing here outside your door
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I think I’m gonna be sad
I think it’s today, yeah
The girl that’s driving me mad
Is going away
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
She’s got a ticket to ride
But she don’t care
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I’m goin’ home
My baby just wrote me a letter
Well she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn’t live without me no more
Listen mister, can’t you see I got to get back
To my baby once more
Anyway
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain’t got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I’m goin’ home
My baby just wrote me a letter
My baby just wrote me a letter
Wild Blue Yonder (Shorty Squad)
Off we go into the wild blue yonder
Keep the wings level and true
If you’d live to be a grey-haired wonder
Keep your nose out of the blue (out of the blue)
Flying men guarding the nation’s border
We’ll be there, followed by more
In echelon we carry on, hey!
Nothing’ll stop the US Air Force
Rosie the Riveter (Shorty Squad)
All the day long, whether rain or shine
She’s a part of the assembly line
She’s making history, working for victory
Rosie, brrrrrrr, the riveter
Solo 1:
Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage
Sitting up there on the fuselage
That little friend can do more than the men can do
Rosie, brrrrrrr, the riveter
Rosie’s got a boyfriend, Charlie
Charlie, he’s a marine
Rosie is protecting Charlie
Working overtime on the riveting machine
Solo 2:
When they gave her a production E
She was as proud as a girl could be
All:
There’s something true about
Red, white and blue about
Rosie, brrrrrrrrr, the riveter
Instrumental
When they gave her a production E
She was as proud as a girl could be
There’s something true about
Red, white and blue about
Rosie, brrrrrrrrr, the riveter
Rosie, brrrrrrrrr, the riveter
Taking a Trip (Kindergarten)
CHORUS:
I’m taking a trip around the world
Finding a friend, a boy, a girl
I want to see all that I can see
Travel by air and land and sea
VERSE:
I can see the Eiffel Tower in France
See Hawaiian ladies do a hula dance
Leaning Tower of Pisa in sunny Italy
Bonsai in Japan and Australian wallaby
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse
Repeat Chorus x 2
UP UP AND AWAY
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly. We can fly
Up, up and away
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly. We can fly
Up, up and away
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
