Talking Airplane Disaster [Demo-Version] Phil Ochs

[Intro]
Uh, any— any of the song— all the songs on this tape
Anybody can do anytime they want to starting now
But, um, this one
This next song here called "Talking Plane Disaster" is a
Sort of special song for me and I need it
And I might—
I hope to use it to make a record in, uh, New York when I get back
So I wish nobody would do— do this song
At least for about a month and a half or two months from now
And, uh, this is what? What's today's date?
Uh (Today's the fifth of April)
Fifth of April, you know, about a month and a half or so
To wait for it
This is a real crowd pleaser, "Talking Plane Disaster"
Just wrote this when I got in Fort Lauderdale
I took a plane down to Miami and, um
I'm deathly afraid of planes, I discovered
Jet planes, so here's a, my recount of the trip
A little exaggerated, but it captures the basic image of 'em all

[Verse 1]
Well, once I heard some people say
If you gotta travel, there's just one way
You gotta leave the ground, you gotta fly through the air
You gotta find a pilot and pay your fare
You gotta sail through the sky
In an automatic bird
