Lyrics
- Sometimes you try to love a girl
And she says “no” to you
It makes you feel so blue
But there’s nothing you can do
You take her for an auto ride
And start that mushy talk
But if she doesn’t like it
She gets out and starts to walk
They’ve fooled us ever since the world began
But listen boys, I’ve got a little plan
Chorus
Wait till you get them up in the air, boys
Wait till you get them up in the air
You can make them hug and squeeze you, too
For if they don’t, just say you won’t
Come down until they do
Wait till you get them up in the clouds, boys
There won’t be anyone to watch you there
You can loop the loop
And she can hardly get her breath
It isn’t hard to reason
With a girl who’s scared to death
Wait till you get them up in the air, boys
Up, up, up up, way up in the air
- Do you remember when
You took the girlie out to dine?
You used to buy her wine
‘Cause it made her feel so fine
She’d always hug and kiss you
‘Cause she felt so light and gay
And I suppose you’re worried
Since they took the wine away
But boys, it’s not as bad as you expect
An aero ride will have the same effect
