They say the eagle is a bird / That sees some splendid sights / When he soars high into the sky / Upon his dizzy flights: / He sees the ground for miles around / Our house, and Billy Johnson's; / But we cannot be eagles, for / That would, of course, be nonsense.
But you and I, some summer day, / Providing we're allowed, / Will go up in an aeroplane / And sail right through a cloud.
