Lyrics
- From coast to coast we all can boast
And sing a toast to one
Who’s made a name, for being game
He was born with wings as great
As any bird that flies
A lucky star guides him afar
Chorus:
“Lucky Lindy,” up in the sky
Fair or windy, he’s flying high
Peerless, fearless, knows every cloud
The kind of a son makes a mother feel proud
“Plucky Lindy” rides all alone
In a little plane all his own
“Lucky Lindy” showed them the way
And he’s the hero of the day
- Just like a child he simply smiled
While we were wild with fear
This Yankee lad, the world went mad
Everywhere they prayed for him
To safely cross the sea
And he arrived in Gay Paree
