Country Joe McDonald - Darlin' Dan (The Rocket Man) lyrics

McDonald My daddy lost his life flying jets in World War III He logged over five million miles for the NATO Air Marines Myself I spent the last two years makin' interplanetary runs But no one in my family flies a rocket like my mom Chorus: Darlin' Dan the rocket man Not just one of the guys Darlin' Dan the rocket man Slicing up the skies Darlin' Dan the rocket man Makes the big rigs fly Darlin' Dan the rocket man She's a lady in disguise My little baby sister won't ever be a fashion queen She never showed interest in clothes or fancy things Golden curls fallin' down upon some dirty coveralls Wants to follow in her mother's footsteps, fly a rocket just like her mom Chorus Spoken: There finally came the day when mama made her last run Malfunction of the instruments and she crashed into the Sun Now my baby sister won't came out into the day She spends all her time in darkness since mama pa**ed away Chorus
