BOY-O:
I'm the funny little airplane guy
And I fly up high in the sky
And I fly all over the place
Trying to figure out the human race
So many wonders I see below
So many things my travels show
And I'm so perplexed
What will I see next?
Go go little airplane go!

I was flying over New York City
One September morning so pretty
When two birds flew out of the sky
Saying "evil Americans die"
And they came in the name of Allah
And they knocked down the temple of the Dollar
And burned all the people in it
Two thousand gone in a minute
And I saw it all from my plane
And heard the voices of sorrow and pain
And now they shine in heavenly glory
If you believe that side of the story
A holy war can be thrilling
If you're suicidal and willing
But it seems kinda strange
How God can arrange
So much glory from so much killing.

So many wonders I see below
So many things my travels show
And I'm so perplexed
What will I see next?
Go go little airplane go!

So I flew to Afghanistan
Just to look for a very bad man
Cause there was no doubt
Those two birds flew out
From a nest in the palm of his hand.
I saw Sam my uncle there
Dropping bombs from high in the air
And he knew he had a world to save
So he blew up every village and cave
And he really meant to find that Nest
But somehow he kept forgetting
And with smart bombs heaven blessed
He took out every mosque and wedding
And on CNN it looked quite thrilling
We were powerful strong and willing
When you're the world's police
In the name of Peace
You sure gotta do a lot of killing.

So many wonders I see below
So many things my travels show
And I'm so perplexed
What will I see next?
Go go little airplane go!

I was flying out over Iraq
Cause I heard about the great attack
We were gonna do the world a favor
Gonna beat up on their nasty neighbor
But "calm down" the world came to tell us
Well, we figured they must just be jealous
Cause though we got little jobs for everyone
Only America can be Top Gun.
And we spared no vast expense
As we attacked in the name of defense
And if we had to take their oil away
It was a price we'd just have to pay
Being the Good Guys sure is thrilling
When you're powerful strong and willing
With so much at stake
Only the weak lie awake
And worry about collateral killing.

So many wonders I see below
So many things my travels show
And I'm so perplexed
What will I see next?
Go go little airplane go!
