Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
