| LYRICS | Life, Look, Pic, Peek always print a beautiful cast And another thing they love Is a certain photograph You take the Time, Tide, Newsweek, ev'ry editorial staff Over a beer they agree The man of the year Is the air-minded executive Who dearly loves to fly He was an up to date go-getter His lady friend was even better She went along to take a letter Just to be nearby The air-minded executive Will take off on the sly He was a most romantic fella And all the things he used to tell her About the role of his propeller Somewhere in the sky |
||
Foggy or fair, Gotta be there Lightin' a flare at the airport Fillin' the tanks Callin' the banks Tellin' them, "Hold up the contract!" Contact! Airminded executive became a wealthy guy And so he wed his secretary They settled down in Waterbury And they commute by stratos-ferry My, they love to fly Even as you and I Foggy or fair, gotta be there Meetin' a square at the airport Gotta arrive Happy new jive Maybe I'll get me a contract Contact! My, we love to fly! Even as you and I My! |
