Words & Music by Hank and Blanche Snow

|
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, ev'ry 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.
|
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,
|
|
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
