The Great Airplane Strike lyrics

The Great Airplane Strike
Paul Revere & The Raiders

I was down in L.A. town, when our manager said "Jump"
I threw my cloths 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 save the run, those airplanes just quit flyin'
the flames kept gettin' higher
The janitor come runnin' in, so scared 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 taxi's out of gas"

If I cant leave here, I just might stay
And that L.A. flyway is goin' to be my home
