Lyrics
Chorus
I was aviating around
I was flying all over town
I struck a rathskeller, and broke my propeller
My feet wouldn’t stay on the ground
I fell down, down
Down where the Wurtzburger flows
And I thought I’d be crowned
I was saved by a queen
In another machine
Who was aviating around
Chorus
I was aviating around
I was flying all over town
I struck a rathskeller
And broke my propeller
My feet wouldn’t stay on the ground
I fell down, down
Down where the Wurtzburger flows
And I thought I’d be crowned
I was saved just in time
By an uncle of mine
Who was aviating around
