505 To Casablanca
[Intro]
(505 to Casablanca
Flight delayed at least one hour
505 to Casablanca
Flight reported short of power)
[Verse 1]
There is a ship in the bay
Sailin' with seagulls away
Over the ocean, in motion
Sounds from a jet fade away
[Verse 2]
Sit at a table for two
Talk to my shadow 'bout you
The fan in the ceilin', is squealin'
I'm feelin' misty and blue
[Chorus]
Play me some music, sing that song again
I'm waiting for an airplane that will—bring me back a friend
Hey, get the windows (Hey, get the windows)
The night's so still and warm, and birds don't sing at all
Before the storm
[Verse 3]
See the Arabian moon
Dance in the night on the dunes
I'm going crazy, star gazin'
Waiting for flight 505
[Refrain]
(505 to Casablanca
Flight dеlayed at least one hour
505 to Casablanca
Flight rеported short of power)
[Verse 4]
There is a sailor who cries
He's lost the sea to the sky
Down in the corner, performer
You sing like you're gonna die
[Chorus]
Play me some music, sing that song again
I'm waiting for tomorrow like a desert for the rain
Say, Mister Waiter, this drink is getting low
And play my song once more before I go
[Pre-Chorus]
See the Arabian moon
Dance in the night on the dunes
I'm going crazy, star gazin'
Waiting for flight 505
[Refrain]
(505 to Casablanca
Flight delayed at least one hour
505 to Casablanca
Flight reported short of power)
[Outro]
(Flight delayed at least one hour
505 to Casablanca
Flight reported short of power
505 to Casablanca
Flight delayed at least one hour...)
