I was singin' the blues and now I'm shoutin' hooray
|
Cause I met a pretty mama and I met her today
|
Well her eyes started cheatin' my heart started beatin' aloud
|
like the rhythmatic motors of the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
|
|
Now the Flying Cloud is a luxury liner
|
It flies from San Diego down to Carolina
|
Then she boogies to Georgia and back to old Alabam
|
No use denyin' makin' love when you're flyin' is grand
|
|
She's a silber comet every engine in tune
|
She boogied us out 'neath the silvery moon
|
The stars started blinkin' when my baby started thinkin' aloud
|
And told me that she loved me on Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
|
[ guitar ]
|
Well I hugged my baby and we started to kiss
|
The Flying Cloud's motors all started to miss
|
She jumped in to jive as the crew started singin' a song
|
And we headed for Dixie while the Flying Cloud boogied along
|
|
When I told my baby a fortune I'd give 'er
|
The big plane trembled and she started to quiver
|
She headed for the sky then she swung and came on back down
|
But we kept a lovin' as the Flying Cloud boogied around
|
|
Wasn't takin' no chances cause I got a bit scary
|
Thought I'd wait till we landed then I'd ask her to marry
|
But changed my mind as we boogied out over the line
|
And I popped the question as the big Cloud boogied on time
|
[ guitar ]
|
Well she started to truck and then she jumped to hep
|
She looped the loop but never lost a step
|
When she started descendin' for a boogie woogie landin' I vowed
|
I'm preparin' my weddin' on the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
|
|
When the big propellers they came to a stop
|
My old heart inside me went flippity flop
|
I took my baby and wandered out through the crowd
|
When we landed in Dixie on the Boogie Woogie Flying Cloud
|
