If You Want to Be a Bird / Wild Blue Yonder

Lyrics

If You Want to Be a Bird [Verse 1] If you want to be a bird Why don't you try a little flyin'? There's no denyin' It gets you high [Verse 2] Why be shackled to your feet When you've got wings You haven't used yet? Don't wait for Heaven Get out and fly [Bridge] Just glide there Through the clear air Makin' figure eights Through the Pearly Gates Where the soul and the universe meet [Verse 3] You want to be a bird? It won't take much to get you up there But when you come down Land on your feet [Fiddle Solo] [Bridge] Just glide there Through the clear air Making figure eights Through the Pearly Gates Where the soul and the universe meet [Verse 3] If you want to be a bird? It won't take much to get you up there But when you come down Land on your feet [Wild Blue Yonder] [Verse 4] Off we go into the wild blue yonder Climb high into the sun Off they roar zoomin' to meet our thunder At 'em boy, give 'em the gun Down we dive, spoutin' our flames from under Off with one helluva roar We live in fame, go down in flame Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps
