Subject: Lyr Add: COME TAKE A TRIP ON MY AIR SHIP
And speaking about sci-fi oldies, let's not forget "Come Take a Trip on My Airship" which I can still hear on quiet nights as sung by Sally Rogers and the Elderly Instruments gang:
COME TAKE A TRIP ON MY AIR SHIP (George Evans and Ren Shields, Public Domain)
I once loved a sailor, once a sailor loved me; He was not a sailor who sailed on the rolling sea; He sailed in an airship, free as a bird on the wing, And every Sunday evening, he'd fly past my window and sing:
Chorus:
Come take a trip on my airship, Come let us sail to the stars; Come let us fly off to Venus, Come take a trip around Mars; No one will see when we're kissing, No one will know when we spoon; Come take a trip in my airship And we'll visit the man in the moon.
One night while sailing away from the crowds We passed through the Milky White Way; Whiule idly drifting and watching the clouds, He asked me if I'd name the day; Just by the dipper I gave him my heart; The sun shines on our honeymoon; We swore to each other we never would part And we'll teach all the babies this tune.
