Lyrics
Well, Find a job you love
and you’ll never have to work again.
I became, Flight Captain Parkin
Smiling in my VC10
At Angels 35
I knew I was playing my part.
Flying in to Seychelles International
Stole my heart.
Chorus
Ladies and gentlemen
this is your Captain speaking,
sit back and enjoy the flight.
I flew high
with my ladies in the sky.
My VC10, my Trident,
my 747.
I always returned to the true love of my life
I tried so hard, flying high
to bring us safely home.
That land down under has been the
back drop for so much of my life.
With Rachel and Ian living in
Beacon Hill and Allambie Heights.
And Maitland is the gateway to a valley
where the Shiraz flows at will.
In my very own Priscilla I reached the
Palace Hotel in Broken Hill.
Chorus
In the Philippines the reefs are so beautiful
you can never forget.
And that Bear Hunt from Calgary to Vancouver
was a dream from the onset.
Those European adventures left so many
memories for us all.
With Susan by my side
I’ve spent my life standing so, so tall.
