In the Basement

Lyrics:

• the ribs are in the wings
• the tail is steady & the engine sings
• she’ll be a flyer when the glue is dry
• they’ll lift her up & take her to the sky


• johnny’s in the basement
• working hard all through the night
• putting glue & wood together
• & a plane is taking flight


• in the blue above the field
• against the silent clouds
• they watch her wheel
• she’s a flyer . . sailing good & true
• son & father guiding her through


• johnny’s in the basement
• working hard all through the night
• putting glue & wood together
• & the plane is taking flight


• everything . . in it’s time . . . in it’s time. . in it’s time
• everything . . . where’d it go . . where’d it go . .
• where did it go . .


• there is dust now on the wings
• hanging down . . down from the ceiling
• where today the music plays
• it soars & lands . . on the flyers that remain


• johnny’s in the basement
• working hard all through the night
• putting notes together
• and a tune is taking flight


• o, johnny’s in the basement
• working hard all through the night
• putting glue & wood together
• & the plane is taking flight


• o, johnny’s in the basement
• working hard all through the night
• putting notes together
• & the tune is sounding right
