[Singing:]
I'm on the next plane to London 
Leaving on runway number five 
Next plane to London and I'm missing her 
That baby of mine 

Told her I was gonna be a star 
But to do it I would have to go far away 
But I'll come back someday 
And take her away 

I'm on the next plane to London 
Leaving on runway number five 
Next plane to London and I'm missing her 
That baby of mine 

Said that over here I wasn't in 
Down in Hollywood I couldn't find a friend 
Who would help me get in 
Or listen to me 

I'm on the next plane to London 
Leaving on runway number five 
Next plane to London and I'm missing her 
That baby of mine 

Buh-buh-baby! (x 9)

Maybe over there I'll get a start 
Only hope by leaving I don't break her heart 
The more important part 
Than any record on the chart 

Next plane to London 
Leaving on runway number five 
Next plane to London and I'm missing her 
That baby of mine 

Next plane to London 
Leaving on runway number five 
Next plane to London and I'm missing her 
Whoa-whoa
