The piper cub is a lovely ship
And she knows her way around;
She’ll fly with ease
Through brush & trees
Straight up or upside down!
She can come down clean on a narrow roof
Or a moving bus or train
That’s the reason why
If you gotta fly
You can always find a plane!
The Mooney Mite is a pretty sight
It’s small but full of spunk
With an open hatch
If you care to catch
Cumulus find the chump.
And a little red flag that begins to wag
When the airspeed starts to wane
That’s the reason why
If you’re gonna fly
You can always find a plane.
The Cessna’s cheap
And a lovely heap
With metal all around
She can lick her weight
In any other crate
Mile for mile & pound for pound!
If you let her alone
shell take you home
Like an automatic brain;
That’s the reason why
Well, ya gotta fly!
You can always find a plane!
Now the aircoup is a flying car
Except she’s got no doors!
She’s made with built in bravery
They never sell in stores!
She doesn’t have any rudders, so
She’ll drive your feet insane!
That’s the reason why
If you’re gonna fly
You can always find a plane!
The Bonanza's got more gagetry
Then a rocket to the moon;
And if they keep improving her
That’s where she’s going soon!
You can pile inside with a family
She’ll never feel the strain;
It’s the reason why
When you gotta fly
You can always find a plane!
The Swift Deluxe
Is a million bucks
Her gear retracts with ease;
She speeds along like a hummingbird
One-fifty purrs a breeze!
There’s room for two
So it’s her & you
In a mile high lovers lane;
That's the reason why
When ya gotta fly
You can always find a plane!
There’s Navions, Aeroncas, Arrows,
Stinsons & Skimmers too
With all these noble little planes
There must be one for you!
So if you desire a special thrill
I'll sing it once again;
That’s the reason why
If you gotta fly
You can always find a plane.
