Well I never went away on a steam powered aeroplane
Well I went and stayed and damn near didn't come back again
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aeroplane
Oh the wheel went around, up and down, and inside and then back again

Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high above Kansas City
On a genuine old fashioned steam powered aeroplane

Well I'd like to be a pilot on a steam powered aeroplane
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again
Well, I'll wear a blue hat, yeah, that says steam powered aeroplane
With letters that go around the rim and then back again
