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.
