Lyrics
Well, I made me an airplane
And intended to fly
My close friends warned me that it was
Useless to try, they said
"It's so heavy
It'll never get off the ground
Believe it, you'll wind up in pieces
When you finally come down"
Well, I just tipped my hat
And I flew all around the world
Just me and my airplane
Then I made me a submarine
And I went for a sail
My close friends warned me that it was
Doomed to fail, they said
"It's so heavy
It's gonna sink right on down
Believe it, you'll wind up in pieces
If you don't come around"
Well, I just gave them a wink
And I sailed all around the world
Just me and my submarine
Then I found me a woman
Just as fine as can be
My close friends warned me she was
Bad company, they whispered
"It's so heavy
It'll never get off the ground
Believe it, they'll wind up in pieces
When it finally cools down"
Well, we just gave them a smile
And we took off around the world
Just me and my woman
And that's the adventures
Of a boy who tired one day
