The awesome foursome (Lulu on right)
Darling daughter Lulu, flew off to the U.K. on her netball trip today.I miss her already so I wrote a song for her to read when she arrives…
It goes with the music to “Leaving on a Jet Plane”.
All my bags are packed I’m ready to go
I’ve got my stuff I’m sure… although
I need more cash, I’m scared I might run dry
The dawn is breakin’ we’re running late
Mum I’m coming soon please don’t berate
me, I’ll soon be gone, of that you can’t deny.
So kiss me and pass your purse
Someday I will reimburse
you, Twenty bucks then I’ll be on my way
Cos I’m leavin on a jet plane
From sobs and tears you must refrain
It’s Netball I must play.
There’s so many places we will see
Many places across the sea
What a way to end our last school year
Every place I go, I’ll email you
Every place I go, a text should do
I’ll bring you back a cheap, lame souvenir.
So kiss me and say good-bye
Soon I’ll be up in the sky
England, Ireland we’ll be on our way
Cos we’re leavin on a jet plane
Your funds are all completely drained
It’s Netball I must play.
Now the time has come for us to board
All photo angles you’ve explored
It’s time we went to spend your hard earned cash
So dream about the games we’ll win
Your long goodbyes are wearing thin
So sorry Mum we really have to dash.
So kiss me and smile for me
Three weeks will go fast I'm sure you’ll see
England, Ireland are not so far away
Cos we’re leavin on a jet plane
Three weeks we’ll all be back again
It’s Netball we must play.
Cos we’re leavin on a jet plane
Three weeks we’ll all be back again
It’s Netball we must play.
Love you Lulu, stay safe xx
Good luck beautiful girls!
