“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 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!!

I used to think that I could not go onAnd life was nothing but an awful songThere are miracles in life I must achieveBut first I know it starts inside of me

I believe I can flyI believe I can touch the skyI think about it every night and daySpread my wings and fly awayI believe I can soarI see me running through that open doorI believe I can flyI believe I can fly

If I can see it (woo!), then I can do it (I can do it)If I just believe it, there's nothing to it (hey)

I believe I can fly (woo!)I believe I can touch the skyI think about it every night and daySpread my wings and fly awayI believe I can soarI see me running through that open doorI believe I can fly (I can fly)I believe I can fly (I can fly)

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

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

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

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

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
