1. Way out in London airport
       F             C
   In hanger number four.
   C                Am
   A lonely little biplane lives
          Dm           G
   Whose name is Evermore.
    C
   His working days were over
   F                 C
   No more would he sail
     F               C
   Upon his wings, above the clouds
     G               C
   Flying the royal mail.

Refrain
   C
   By, By, Biplane
    F           C
   Once upon a sky plane
   F        C
   By, By, Hushabye
    G        C
   Lullaby plane.

2. All the mighty jet planes
   Would look down their nose.
   They’d laugh and say, “Oh, I’m so glad
   That I’m not one of those.”
   And Evermore would shake away
   The tear drops from his wings
   And dream of days, when he again
   Could do heroic things.

3. And then one day the fog and rain
   Had closed the airport down
   And all the mighty jet plane
   Were helpless on the ground.
   When a call came to the airport
   For a mercy flight.
   Would be too late, they could not wait
   Someone must fly tonight.

   C                         Am
4. So the rolled the little biplane
          C              Am
   Out to runway number five
         C                  Am
   And though he looked so small and weak
       Dm              G
   He knew he could survive

   And as he rose into the storm
   The big jets hung their wings
   And hoped someday, like evermore
   To do heroic things

5. And so me bitty Bundle
   I have spun a tail for you
   Remember that there’s nothing
   In this world that you can not do.
   So do not be discouraged
   By circumstance or size
   Remember Evermore and set your 
   Sights upon the skies.
