WEATHER PERMITTING

Way up in Alaska wherever you are,
If you're headed out close or you're headed out far,
And you're going by plane you can add (and it's fitting)
I'll be there good buddies... weather permitting.

It could really care less what you're planning on doing,
An operation, oration, a wedding or wooing,
When you go to the airport you may need your knitting,
For you'll only be flying with... weather permitting.

I have fretted and stewed I have stamped on the floor,
I have shouted and screamed and started to roar,
But there's no use in fuming or fussing or snitting,
You'll always face this... it's weather permitting.

So don't get disheartened in the far golden North,
If you suffer delay as you sally forth.
Just learn to relax without fretting or quitting,
You can depend on one thing...it's just weather permitting.

When the rich folks all come with their clothing so fine,
With their high fashion wardrobes and special french wine.
They'll stop for a while then continue their flitting,
Go on with their jet setting...weather permitting.

And whether you're working or playing around,
Flying through mountains or over the sound,
In what kind of season your travels are are hitting,
I will guarantee this...weather permitting.

And it gets in you're blood then whenever you go,
So I said to my sweetie, how I love you so,
She said I adore you, come close where I'm sitting,
And I'll do what you want me to...weather permitting.

And when the grim reaper comes I can see it all clear,
I'm alone in my shroud happy heaven is near,
I'm coming Saint Peter! This old world I'm quitting,
I'll be along soon...Weather Permitting.
