Jet Set
[STEWARDESSES]
Woke up in Brooklyn
With a frown upon my face
Just left Wisconsin
Where there's cheese enough to start this rat race
But thanks to the Brothers Wright
We don't know where we'll sleep tonight
Yes, I'm a bird in the skies
And tomorrow when I rise

I'll wake up in Paris
With a new love in my heart
Or maybe Germany
With that brand new pet I met in Stuttgart
Sky's the limit, time to play
I'll put down roots some other day
No need to be a lonely Joe
The jet set is the only way to go

Would'ja like new music and mystery
Each and every day
Lose the same old music and history
Make a new friend then fly away

And wake up in Texas
Where they'll treat their women right
And then try Hollywood
Where the stars get lit out in broad daylight
Any city, near or far
Feels twice as good as where you are
When you're sick of the status quo
The jet set is the only way to go

[PILOTS]
Would ya like a sleigh ride? A hayride?
Then kiddo, just stay home
But, if you want jet set then get set
To leave behind Kansas
There's no place like Rome

[STEWARDESSES]
Wake up in Rio
Have your coffee in Brazil

[PILOTS]
When real life gets you down
Take a…

[PILOTS & STEWARDESSES]
… Far-out, one-way
Trip to Splitzville

[PILOTS]
Swedish, Greek, or Japanese
[STEWARDESSES]
A stewardess is trained to please

[PILOTS & STEWARDESSES]
So if you've got what it takes below
Well then fly this bird like cupid's bow
‘Cause the jet set's just a holiday
Yeah the jet set goes up, up and away… so fly!

[FRANK, JR.]
Right down to Italy for La Bella Femmina
Jump in a fountain for a…

[ALL]
Big dose of La Dolce Vita

[FRANK, JR.]
If your tastes run more risqué

[STEWARDESSES]
Well then we know a joint in Old Bombay

[ALL]
So hang on tight, let's loop de loop
It's time to fly this chicken coop
So, pack up your suitcase
Check your worries at the gate
Come out and play boy
Cruise the world to find
Your perfect playmate

[FRANK, JR.]
Things look better from above
So buckle up, next stop is love

[ALL]
From Timbuktu to Tokyo
From Mozambique to Mexico
Yeah the jet set is the
Only way to go
