Bb Mr. Boeing can you hear me now? Eb Way up there in Seattle Bb You better sit your big self down F7 'Cause I'm about to make your phone line rattle Bb Get busy with your peppy team Eb And your compass and protractor Bb 'Cause I'm sent here to contract ya F7 Bb To construct this winged thing

Bb We're talking 'bout an aquaplane Eb With its floats made out of liners Bb And a hold like Carolina F7 For the load it must contain Bb Don't tell me that it can't be done Eb 'Cause we're living in the eighties Bb Boy we will not me mateys F7 Bb Unless we do this winged thing

Bb Information I have received Eb From let's say higher sources Bb That leads me to believe F7 That heavy weather is around the bend Bb The clouds are gonna bump and grind Eb And down will rain destruction Bb But with the aid of our construction F7 Bb We'll survive and thrive again

[Bridge]
C7 I want to take the ape and the kangaroo C7 From out the wild and out of the zoo C7 I'm gonna have to take extra cattle and swine C7 'Cause the beasts on each other do love to dine C7 Every fish, fowl, thing that howl Eb Will all be kicking up a hell of a row
[Out-Chorus]
