 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
