Lyrics
One day I asked my dad if he could
Build me a plane
He said he would and so he did
And out of wood it came
Painted white with coloured stripes
And two mecano wheels
Propellor carved and painted black
It took a week to build
The years passed by
And all I did was
Fly my aeroplane
If I could ever find it
I would make it fly again
I used to run to meet you
When I was nine years old
Flying down the garden path
As you walked up the road
Other toys would come and go
But they all seem the same
Nothing could replace
My wooden aeroplane
The years passed by
And all I did was
Fly my aeroplane
If I could ever find it
I would make it fly again
One day I passed a boot sale
And took a look inside
And hanging from a canopy
Right there before my eyes
It looked a little shabby
But the colour was the same
I bought it for a fiver
My beautiful aeroplane
As years passed by
I wished my boy could
Fly my aeroplane
And now it's fixed and painted
We can make it fly again
