Darlin' Dan (The Rocket Man) - Country Joe 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 passed away

Chorus
