Tugboat Captain'S Song
Reading Rainbow
1:52Many years ago near Kitty Hawk There lived the Brothers Wright They were workin' on a something called an airplane Tryin' to be the first in flight Well they worked real hard and they put it all together And soon they were flying just as light as a feather And they flew right into history If they handed out wings for bravery Charlie Lindbergh would be the guy 'Cause across the Atlantic Ocean Is where he aimed to fly They thought he was crazy, didn't think he had a chance But they cheered him as he landed in Paris, France And he flew right into history Let's cheer the flyers Challenging the sky Hooray for the flyers Flyin' low and flyin' high Let's hear it for the flyers The men and women through the years Who've become the aviation pioneers Many years have passed since those early days The planes have changed a lot And the pilots who flew those early flights Have made way for the astronauts And they fly the shuttle fast, like it's in a race They have to give it lots of gas to get to outer space And they soar right into history Let's cheer the flyers Challenging the sky Hooray for the flyers Flyin' low and flyin' high Let's hear it for the flyers The men and women through the years Who've become the aviation pioneers
