The Great Airplane Strike

Paul Revere & The Raiders



I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"

I through my close and my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk

I pushed it to the airport and run to the ticket line

Man said "Son, you could have saves the run, those airplanes just quit flyinthe flames kept

gettin?higher

The janitor come runnin?in, so scare his face was white

So, I explained my situation, he said "Thats all right"



If I cant leave here, I just might stay

And that L.A. flyway is goin?to be my home



Next day I thought that I would leave, so I packed my thing again

Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in

Spotted one that wasnt full and I threw myself in fast

The driver said "Im sorry but this taxis out of gas"



If I cant leave here, I just might stay

And that L.A. flyway is goin?to be my home
