Wish I had an aeroplane, I'd fly away up yonder
'Til I could write me the perfect song
It'd be a song for the people
It'd be a song that everybody could sing along
If you needed a ride, you'd have one
If you needed a friend, I'd be your best one
If you got afraid, I'd take away all your pain
And I'd let you fly in my aeroplane
If this song could spread happiness
I'd sing it long and loud all over this land
I'd teach this song to the troubled and we'd sing it
For anybody who needed a helping hand
If you needed a ride, you'd have one
If you needed a friend, I'd be your best one
If you got afraid, I'd take away all your pain
And I'd let you fly in my aeroplane
If you had a wish well, I wonder
What in the world your wish might be
Would it be a wish of freedom and a joyous noise
That could ring out from all eternity?
If you needed a ride, you'd have one
If you needed a friend, I'd be your best one
If you got afraid, I'd take away all your pain
And I'd let you fly high in my aeroplane
In my aeroplane, in my aeroplane
