Band On The Run Lyrics - 1973

[ Buy Band On The Run ]

Jet! i can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that
You were going to be marrying soon.
And Jet, i thought the only
Lonely place was on the moon.
Jet! Jet!
Jet! was your father as bold as the sergeant major?
How come he told you that
You were hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! Jet!

Ah, Mater, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, Mater, want Jet to always love me?
Ah, Mater, much later.

Jet! with the wind in your hair of a thousand laces.
Climb on the back and we'll
Go for a ride in the sky.
And Jet, I thought that the major
Was a lady suffragette.
Jet! Jet!

And Jet you know I thought
you was a little lady suffragette
Jet
A little lady
My little lady...yes
