Please Dont Get On The Plane

INTRO: Please don't get on the plane It's cold and the snow's so thick in the air Please don't get on the plane See, the band's on the bus, and it's just over there And yes, I know that you're tired So you hired it to fly on ahead of the gang But please don't get on the plane Take your time, like the words of the song you just sang verse 1 Maria Elena's alone in New York She can't sleep well tonight And Jerry and Joe say the Crickets'll go Back together alright And then the boy in the UK is growing up okay And singing your songs But he's only 15, he's not seen very much And he needs you along Please don't get on the plane It's cold and the snow's so thick in the air Please don't get on the plane See, the band's on the bus, and it's just over there And yes, I know that you're tired So you hired it to fly on ahead of the gang But please don't get on the plane Take your time, like the words of the song you just sang verse 2 Big Bopper just roared out the claim that he scored In the dance hall last night But Ritchie's too shy, he won't try Though he says that the next gig he might AND now the pilot's on board and he just can't afford Not to take on the job And you're thinking you've come a long way Since the days of Buddy and Bob But please don't get on the plane It's cold and the snow's so thick in the air Please don't get on the plane See, the band's on the bus, and it's just over there And yes, I know that you're tired So you hired it to fly on ahead of the gang But please don't get on the plane Take your time, like the words of the song you just sang verse 3 Now you're moving on out, you're beginning to roll But why can't you see There's a boy in the snow, who's saying "Don't go Don't go and leave me" And now he's shouting and screaming, past forty and dreaming Of yesterday when And he wakes with a start and his heart's like a hammer And he's fifteen again Saying, please don't get on the plane It's cold and the snow's so thick in the air Please don't get on the plane See, the band's on the bus, and it's just over there And yes, I know that you're tired So you hired it to fly on ahead of the gang But please don't get on the plane Take your time, like the words of the song you just sang OUTRO: Please don't get on the plane Please don't get on the plane Please don't get on the plane Please don't get on the plane
