Steam Powered Giraffe That'll Be The Way Home
(Ahhs)
A man takes off from an airfield
and he's a'soaring very far from home
'cause he flies a B-17 straight through the sky
He's homesick and he knows
it'll be a long time till he's done
and he's got a beautiful girl
waiting at home
He opens up a letter from her. She writes,
here's a color picture of me
(a pretty picture)
Just head towards my blue eyes,
when you're finding your way back to me
Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
Straight through the sky
headed towards her blue eyes
A lieutenant of the Navy
took his very first steps today
Onto the ship that would become his new home
He and his wife
had shared a very special goodbye
when they kissed in the night underneath
a star of their own
As the lieutenant gazed up
and saw their star shining bright
(oh so bright)
He knew it would guide him home
when the time was right
Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
Starin' into the night
Keeping their star in sight
All you infantry men and you riveting gals
don't ever need to give up hope
all you doctors, and nurses, and engineers
need not worry for long
If we all look towards what we miss most
and keep that drive in our heart
Well,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
Yes,
That'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll that'll
That'll be the way home
