To the tune of Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
Almost as originally performed by the THUNDERDORKS at the 1998 Canungra Classic
Oh lord I’m a kid and I just want to fly
I sit in the classroom and stare at the sky
They say that I can’t, but I just say why?
Oh lord I’m a kid and I just want to fly
So lord won’t you buy me a shiny new FUN
You have to start somewhere, so I gotta have one
I’ll start at the bottom, but soon be a gun
So lord won’t you buy me a shiny new FUN
Oh lord won’t you buy me a new Moyes XT
My friends all fly FUNS so they’ll never catch me
I’ll go up to Canungra and fly some XC
Oh lord won’t you buy me a new Moyes XT
Oh lord won’t you buy me an X-T-RA-LITE
Six months in the gym, I can lift it all right
It flies like the devil, the yaw I must fight
Oh lord won’t you buy me an X-T-RA-LITE
Oh lord won’t you but me a nice lightweight SHARK
But into a headwind I just seem to park
It seems now that kingposts belong in the Ark
Oh lord can I SELL you a cheap low hours SHARK
Oh lord won’t you buy me a new C-S-X
I promise if I get one I will give up sex
I’ll mortgage my girlfriend and have no regrets
Oh lord won’t you buy me a new C-S-X
Oh lord won’t you send me some 1000 up lift
But when I get low zero sink is a gift
And if I end up landing, I can always get pissed
Oh lord won’t you send me some 1000 up lift
Oh lord send a eagle to show me the way
Straight down the course line, I will win the day
But when I get to goal, I see with dismay
Ten gliders in a paddock of freshly cut hay
Oh lord ain’t hang gliding the greatest of sports
And the flying at Canungra is great they report
So I’ll go up to Queensland and claim those red shorts
Oh lord ain’t hang gliding the greatest of sports
So lord give me money to fly all the time
I think every day of the week would be fine
And don’t let my XCs fall short of the line
Oh lord give me money to fly all the time
Amen
