Planes

[Intro]
Oh what?
And again
That's what comes from drinking on empty eight diving
Shut up!
Ha ha ha ha
One two three four

[Verse 1]
Oh, Jessie I'd like to be
One of those men up on the screen
With an elegant lady and a café in Paris
Serving Pernod and Kahlúa with cream

[Verse 2]
You can see it, I know
All the doors have been closed in my face
And the drinks at the Casbah
Run a mile or more from this place

[Chorus]
And oh Jessie, won't you look at the planes?
Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they say?
That there's a capital G in the name of the game
And the runway's a home for my silver-red plane
And oh, won't you look at the planes
Riding down the skyway?
Jessie, ain't those wings just fine?
Don't it make you wanna fly someday?

[Verse 3]
Why friend am I so still
Tied to my job with time to kill?
Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote
Tilting giants on imaginary hills?

[Chorus]
And oh Jessie, won't you look at the planes?
Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they say?
That there's a capital G in the name of the game
And the runway's a home for my silver-red plane
And oh, won't you look at the planes
Riding down the skyway?
Jessie, ain't those wings just fine?
Don't it make you wanna fly someday?
And oh, oh, won't you look at the planes?
Mmm, they're riding down the skyway
Jessie, ain't those wings just fine?
And don't it make you wanna fly, oh, someday?
