Lyrics

The Fat Angel

[Verse 1]

He will bring happiness in a pipe

He'll ride away on his silver bike

And apart from that he'll be so kind

In consenting to blow your mind

[Chorus]

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

[Verse 2]

He will bring orchids for my lady

The perfume will be of an excellent style

And apart from that he'll be so kind

In consenting to blow your mind

[Chorus]

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

[Sitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

He will bring happiness in a pipe

He'll-a ride away on his silver bike

And apart from that he'll be so kind

In consenting to blow your mind

[Chorus]

Fly Jefferson Airplane, get you there on time

Fly Jefferson Airplane, get you there on time

[Sitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

He will bring happiness in a pipe

He'll ride away on his silver bike

And apart from that he'll be so kind

In consenting to blow your mind

[Chorus]

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

Fly Translove Airways, get you there on time

[Outro]

We'll be flying at an altitude of thirty-nine thousand feet

Captain High at your service
