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 can't 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 wasn't full and I threw myself in fast
The driver said "Im sorry but this taxis out of gas"
If I can't leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin?to be my home
