Лётчик
ундервуд Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Лётчик-лётчик,
Вот тебе листочек -
Сделай из него самолёт,
Напиши на крыльях
Имя и фамилию,
День, месяц и год.
Лётчик-лётчик,
Нет на карте точке,

Где бы ты ещё не бывал.
И тебе давно пора
Выходить из штопора -
Сразу устал.

Но!
Вот-вот-вот-вот-вот
По небу летит самолёт,
Вот-вот-вот-вот-вот
По небу летит самолёт.
А пилот... А что пилот?
Пилоту небо родины как мёд.

Лётчик-лётчик -
Узник оболочек,
Как из них не вырваться тут?
Сколько ты уже
Намотал на ПАМе часов
И минут?
Лётчик-лётчик,
Дай жене платочек,
Чтобы не намокли глаза.
Ты же всё один
Летаешь между строчек,
А ей что сказать?

Но!
Вот-вот-вот-вот-вот
По небу летит самолёт,
Вот-вот-вот-вот-вот
По небу летит самолёт.

А пилот... А что пилот?
Пилоту небо родины как мёд.
