[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
