Ninety minutes from New York to Paris. Well, by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
Chorus
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Verse
Get your ticket to that wheel in space while there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've go to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets, one for everyone
