Leaving on a jet plane...

... here's the song.

Later today Fluffy Ted and I will be heading off to my favourite island of Menorca, accompanied by my mate Enya, who I hope during the holiday can be persuaded to enroll as a blipper instead of just lurking as my guest. Hope to keep uploading blips, Telefonica permitting, although commenting may a bit reduced. No more volcanic ash please; I'd hate to be stranded over there - not.

Of course I'll have to get Minnie out of my case first (she always does this).



All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking,
it's early morn
the taxi's waiting,
he's blowing his horn
already I'm so lonesome I could die

*Chorus

So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe, I hate to go*

There's so many times I've let you down
so many times I've played around
but darling now they don't mean a thing
every place I go I think of you
every song I sing I sing for you
when I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring

*Chorus*

And now the time has come to leave you
one more time
oh let me kiss you
then close your eyes
and I'll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when I won't have to leave alone
about the times when I won't have to say...

*Chorus*

I'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe, I hate to go

I'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane.....
