I'm A Little Airplane

(the word "now" is sung like an airplane sounds
which explains the spelling)
written and performed by Jonathan Richman

Well, I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
And wangity-wang, wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
And wangity-wang, wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

I fly in the dark
(nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
Over baseball parks
(nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
Well I fly late at night
(nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
I got my little red light
(nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
And wangity-wang, wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

I'm a little airplane nrrrow
You know, I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
And wangity-wang
I go everywhere
Wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
