WE'RE OFF WE'RE GOING

We’re off – we’re going
747 Boeing
The pilot’s boarding, boarding
Oh! My heart is soaring
Have you checked your luggage?
Labels here for all your baggage
Has your kosher meal been ordered?
Have you tipped the porter?

Going far away, our hearts remain in Yemen
Leaving memories of centuries in Yemen
Who can light the spark that makes us dance in unity
No one else can understand our music in its beauty

Going off to China
For a little while
Eat with chopsticks
Chinese style
Maybe find a baby sleeping in the sun
OOPS! MY PLANE! I MUST RUN!

​Thank you, thank you Mr. Taximan
Thank you, thank you for the ride
I’m off – to catch a flight to Shefford
My associates are waiting here inside ba da da da da da
Got my stopwatch and my walking stick
Just can’t wait to see the green
“Paging Mr. B” they’re calling someone
FAREWELL – it must be me they mean

Forever my Yerushalayim
I leave with teardrops in my eyes
My heart’s with you, Yerushalayim
And so – I never say goodbye

I may be far away in London
It’s not by choice that I have flown
My heart’s with you, Yerushalayim
You’ll always, always be my home

We’re off – we’re going
747 Boeing
The pilot’s boarding, boarding
Oh! My heart is soaring

Have you checked your luggage?
Labels here for all your baggage
Has your kosher meal been ordered?
Have you tipped the porter?

Get set, we’re going going
The conveyer’s rolling, rolling
No delays, they’re calling, calling
Hear the engines roaring

We’re off to different places
Different styles and different faces
Each man to his destination
Flying’s a sensation…. Flying’s a sensation
