Flying Lesson

Oh Best Beloved

With a little bit of patience

And imagination

We learn to fly

Now hold out your hands

Spread out your fingers

See how they are feathers

And your arms are wings

Now flap your wings

Flap, flap them two times

Flap, flap, flap three times

Now flap them four

Now close your eyes

Fly through the open window

Now catch a good headwind

And begin to soar

Now Best Beloved

You want to fly a little higher

Spread out your wings

Up over your head

Fly over the housetops

And all around the steeples

Look down at all the people

Pointing up at you

Look out for that storm cloud

Watch out for that aeroplane

Here comes a rainbow-oh-oh

There goes the rain

Now flap your wings

Flap, flap them two times

Flap, flap, flap three times

Oh flap them four

Now let's fly home

Bring your wings to your side

Catch a good tailwind

And begin to glide

Fly in through the window

And open your eyes

Look all around you

Oh what a big surprise

Now clap your hands

Clap, clap them two times

Clap, clap, clap three times

Oh clap them four

Now stomp your feet

Stomp, stomp them two times

Stomp, stomp, stomp three times

Now stomp them four

Now keep your feet

Right there on the floor

Flying lesson is over, Best Beloved

When you leave, use the door
