A ghost plane circles above us,
With a manifest to die for.
In fact they did, those poor souls.
No spotlights on stage anymore.

Buddy Holly is chatting with Peggy Sue.
And John Denver is sad he left on a jet plane.
Glenn Miller is no longer in the mood.
The Big Bopper is singing Chantilly Lace once again.

Otis Reading is wishing he was on the Dock of the Bay.
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jim Croce are conversing.
Ritchie Valens is continually humming La Bamba.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is unhappy with this and is cursing.

Ricky Nelson is going on about a Garden Party.
Jim Reeves is demanding that he’ll have to go.
Patsy Cline is being calmed as she’s gone crazy.
If they were flying to a concert – what a show!
