Open up the sky ‘cause I’m coming up to you.
So send down your wings and let them bring me to you.
You know I’m standing at the station ready to go.
Big old aeroplane you know I’m trusting you so.

Get on up, big bird, to my baby love. Get on up, big bird, to my baby love.
Get on up ‘cause I’ve got to make it.

With me down here and you up there
All me know is it ain’t no fair.
So you go taxi down the runway, spread out your wings.
Big old aeroplane you better fly like the wind.

Get on up, big bird, to my baby love. Get on up, big bird, to my baby love.
