Boeing Boeing 707 - Roger Miller

Lyrics:
Overcharge for excess baggage
Know your concourse, know your gate
Up this way sir, not that way sir,
Airplane departs gate six eight
Please sir may l see your ticket
Fasten your seat belt, you can't smoke
Beverage, anything you'd care for
Sorry but we're out of coke

Boeing boeing 707
Going, going skywardly heavenly
Higher than bluebirds fly
Why then oh why can't l

Destination de-plane slowly
Do this, do that, l comply
God bless Orville, God bless Wilbur
It's the only way to fly

Boeing boeing 707
Going, going skywardly heavenly
Higher than bluebirds fly
Why then oh why can't l

Boeing boeing 707
Going, going skywardly heavenly
Higher than bluebirds fly
Why then oh why can't l

"Boeing Boeing 707" is written and performed by Roger Miller.

Can you cut out the pictures of the 737 at the gate, Royal Air Force Comet, 737 coming over the fence and 747-400? Apart from that I LOVE IT after flying as a Steward for 34 years with Qantas! Also had Roger on a flight from Honolulu to Sydney in the Upper Deck of one of our old Boeing 747-238's!

@Rocky747 Take easy, i didn't have that many pictures of the 707

[alleyt1989]

Wow this song is soo crap!

[usetheroute93]

@alleyt1989 what the f... ? this song is great. why has you made a comment then? and why has you made two comments which not are familiar?

my english is kind of crap

[alleyt1989]

@usetheroute93 are you mentally deranged - this song is horrible. i just said the video is good for whoever has put this together, but yep this song is painful to the ears. and fyi i searched it to show someone else how crap this song is.

[usetheroute93]

@alleyt1989 Deranged, oboy -.- i don't like your answer. I think this song is great, that's why i made this clip and posted it here on youtube.

[alleyt1989]

[Tarten46]

oh he'd have had a fieldday with todays issues...

[AkureyriIS]

Why would someone choose to put pictures of planes in the video that weren't 707s? 707 pictures really arent that hard to find.

[GimiGlider]

uhhh...that's a comet.

As I understand it, as was told to me by my father, this song came about on the Tonight Show on an occasion Roger was a guest. Somehow it came up that he could write a song about anything in a very short amount of time and this was the topic Johnny Carson gave him. In just a few minutes Roger Miller performed Boeing Boeing 707 on the tonight show after writing it while sitting there. This may be apocryphal but is the story I was told.
