Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't sit around the whole day through
But, Hey, if you want to, you can come with
Come on! We got work to do
Come on! We got work to do
(Choppa choppa choppa choppa...)
Up on the mountain - somebody fell
They hurt their leg - they can't walk
How they gonna get down to the hospital?
Hey we gotta fly our helicopter, kid
Can't sit around the whole day through
We'll fly up to the top of that big mountain
Come on! We got work to do
Come on! We got work to do
Got the call - they need assistance
A traffic jam - into the distance
They need a picture - when will it end?
Who do you think - they're gonna send?
Yeah we gotta fly our helicopter, kid
Can't sit around the whole day through
From way up here we can see everything
Come on! We got work to do
Come on! We got work to do

Can't sit around the whole day through
We'll fly through the rain and fly through wind
Come on! We got work to do
Come on! We got work to do
The lyrics of "Helicopter" describe the adventures of a pilot named Seth, who is constantly called to rescue people in need from various situations. The song starts with Seth telling someone that he has to fly his helicopter and can't sit around all day. He then invites this person to come with him if they want to, implying that they will be able to see and experience amazing things. The chorus repeats the idea that they both have work to do, and that it involves flying the helicopter.
The rest of the verses describe the different scenarios in which Seth is called to use his helicopter. One of them involves someone who fell on a mountain and can't move, while the other is a traffic jam that needs aerial photographs taken. The pre-flight checklist is briefly mentioned to show that Seth is a careful pilot who knows what he's doing. The last case is a rescue mission during a big storm at sea, where a canoe is sinking and Seth needs to pick up the crew. The lyrics end with Seth encouraging his companion to come with him and stating that they have to work together to make it happen.
