I Could Live In An Aeroplane 1911

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Aug 2005

I've visited China and dear Japan,
thru all their towns I've been
I've traveled thru Egypt by caravan,
and all its sights I've seen,
I've crossed the Alps in Switzerland
I've crossed the raging Main,
but now, no more, of sea, or shore
since I've had an Aeroplane.

For it's up in the air in an Aeroplane,
leaving old Earth behind,
saying goodbye without a sigh,
forgetting life's old dreary grind,
spinning along thru the summer air,
free from all care and pain,
Gee! if I could,
surely I would,
live and die in an Aeroplane!

For it's up in the air in an Aeroplane,
leaving old Earth behind,
saying goodbye without a sigh,
forgetting life's old dreary grind,
spinning along thru the summer air,
free from all care and pain,
Gee! if I could,
surely I would,
live and die in an Aeroplane!

Just think of the lovers who's lives of bliss
will never more be marred
who can talk and tease and even kiss
right up amongst the stars,
Oh think of the speed and velocity
of the great Aeroplane
when lovers elope,
and brokers get broke
they'll just hire an Aeroplane.

For it's up in the air in an Aeroplane,
leaving old Earth behind,
saying goodbye without a sigh,
forgetting life's old dreary grind,
spinning along thru the summer air,
free from all care and pain,
Gee! if I could,
surely I would,
live and die in an Aeroplane!

For it's up in the air in an Aeroplane,
leaving old Earth behind,
saying goodbye without a sigh,
forgetting life's old dreary grind,
spinning along thru the summer air,
free from all care and pain,
Gee! if I could,
surely I would,
live and die in an Aeroplane!
