Me And My Plane

With the wind in my ear I soar along
I am so happy I'm singing a song
Driving my plane there's no better feeling
Just me and the clouds sittin' here squealing

Down I dive the engine roaring
"Oh," I think. "What a wonderful morning."
Very quickly I pull out of my dive
This is something I like to drive

Suddenly, I hear a great blast
And I see a plane approaching fast
Quickly, quickly I fly away
Well this has really made my day

Into a valley, over a tree
And then down towards the sea
I sigh, and then I frown
But then I start going down
