The Great Airplane Strike - Paul Revere & The Raiders

I was down in L A town

When our manager said "Jump"

I threw my clothes

And my saxophone

In a two by four bit trunk

I pushed it to the airport

And I ran to the ticket line

Man said "Son

You could have saved the run

Those airplanes just quit flying"

If I can't leave here

I just might stay

And that L A flyway

Is going to be my home

I ran to the terminal building

To fly by my airline

The man said I could ride the wing

And I said that was fine

He said "I'll confirm your reservation

And put the plane on hold"

He came on back and said

"Sorry but that wing space

Just been sold"

If I can't leave here

I just might stay

And that L A flyway

Is going to be my home

Ummg huum baby

I walked into the washroom

And I built myself a fire

Threw on lots of paper

And the flames kept getting higher

The janitor come running

So scared his face was white

So I explained my situation

He said "That's all right"

If I can't leave here

I just might stay

And that L A flyway

Is going to be my home

Next day I thought that I would leave

So I packed my things again

Waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in

Spotted one that wasn't full

And I threw myself in fast

The driver said "I'm sorry

But this taxi's out of gas"

If I can't leave here

I just might stay

And that L A flyway

Is going to be my home
