I'm leaving on a jet plane

Original Lyrics here

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

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

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you 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

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

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And 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 that I won't have to say ...

Oh, 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

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

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

because im grieving for all my lifes pain
don't know how i live with this shame
I must leave so i can grow

i'm leaving to find a higher plane
you can never destroy my creative brain
I must leave so i can flow

Im leaving to join the cast of fame
or maybe just to go on the game
Who cares im going to blow

JoolsToo · 27/10/2004 12:16

oh, oh! duck!

I've been inspired - Here's my version of I Will Survive..I'm protecting my MN name by posting under my mad alias...

At first I just lurked, I was petrified
But behind a user name I could easily hide
And then I spent so many nights just ?having a quick look?
And I got hooked
And into threads I was sucked

And so I?m back, in Mumsnet space
I just log on and find it here, with a little smiley face
I should have never chose to post
I should have said goodbye that night
If I had known for just one second
I?d be addicted to the site

I should just go, walk out the door
just turn it off now
'cause I don?t see hubby anymore

Some folks say ?I?m off and now goodbye?
But they come back
Others run away and cry
Oh no, not I
I?ll stay online
Oh as long as I?ve got things to post
I know I?ll stay online

I've got lots of time to waste
Now I?ve got that Mumsnet taste
I'll stay online
I'll stay online (hey-hey)

Hmmm anyone about ?
Should I come out ?
Or should I lie low
I really don't know [wink}

Stop blowing smoke!

GonePotty · 27/10/2004 20:45

Puff Puff

I better reveal all soon or everyone will get bored & I'll miss my brief moment of MN adulation

GonePotty · 27/10/2004 20:51

Just noticed, someone said Encore...well you asked for it - Dancing Queen

Every night and the lights are low
The PCs on and I just can?t go
Got the right chat room, always makes me smile
Guess I?ll just lurk a while
Anybody could be that mum
Problems with DS & his bum
With a virtual wine, everything is fine
You're in the mood for chat
And when you get the chance...

You are the Mumsnet Queen, young and sweet, or an old has been
Mumsnet Queen, feel the heat from the Chat room screen
You can type, you can laugh, having the time of your life
See that chat, watch the screen, you are the Mumsnet Queen

onlyjoking9329 · 27/10/2004 20:56

marthamoo · 27/10/2004 20:58

Here's the Grand Finale.....drum roll please....
YMCA

Young mum, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young mum, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young mum, theres no need for a frown
There's no need to have no mates now.

Old mum, there's a place to hang out.
I said, old mum, when your kids aren?t about
You can stay there, and drink half a stout
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to lurk at the MN talk board
It's fun to lurk at the MN talk board

They have everything for you mums to enjoy,
You can Swap all your favourite toys

It's fun to lurk at the MN talk board
It's fun to lurk at the MN talk board

You can get yourself banned, you can have a good laugh,
You can do whatever you feel ...
