Sist jag åkte jumbojet
Då var vi åtta man
Och alla motorerna stannade
Och vi sa till varann:
Nu öppnar vi extratanken
Och startar igen, hörru du!
Men Stoffe kasta veven
Och så var vi bara sju!
Stoffe kasta veven
Och så var vi bara sju!
Så vi gjorde välan ett nytt försök
Och upp vi kom minsann
Men det var något fel på bränslet
Som vi köpt av en bränsleman
Så hela systemet pajade!
Rosenblad stod perplex
Hon fick en propp i förgasaren
Så var vi bara sex
Hon fick en propp i förgasaren
Så var vi bara sex
Så vi gjorde en överläggning
Och kom välan fram till att
Nu köper vi statens bränsle
Och betalar sedvanlig skatt
Men medborgare Person
Han tyckte att hut gick hem
Köpte sig därpå radhus
Och så var vi bara fem
Köpte sig därpå radhus
Och så var vi bara fem
Så vi stannade kvar på marken ett tag
Och tittade upp mot skyn
Och femton schyssta mekaniker
Gav oss en översyn
Och Inga-Maj for till föga
Skaffade sig en karl
Skaffade sig löständer
Så var vi bara fyra kvar
Skaffade sig löständer
Så var vi bara fyra kvar
The last time I went on a jumbo jet
There were eight of us then
And all the engines stopped
And we said to each other:
Now we open the extra tank
And starts again, you hear!
But Stoffe threw the crank
And then there were only seven of us!
Stuff throw the crank
And then there were only seven of us!
So we well gave it another try
And up we came indeed
But there was something wrong with the fuel
Which we bought from a fuel man
So the whole system went haywire!
Rosenblad stood perplexed
She got a plug in the carburetor
So there were only six of us
She got a plug in the carburetor
So there were only six of us
So we made a deliberation
And well came to the conclusion that
Now we buy the government's fuel
And pay customary tax
But citizen Person
He thought hut went home
Then bought a townhouse
And then there were only five of us
Then bought a townhouse
And then there were only five of us
So we remained on the ground for a while
And looked up at the sky
And fifteen handsome mechanics
Give us a review
And Inga-Maj went to no avail
Got herself a husband
Got false teeth
So there were only four of us left
Got false teeth
So there were only four of us left
