Just a ship out on the ocean, a speck against the sky   Amelia Earhart flying that sad day   With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July   Her plane fell in the ocean far away      There?s a beautiful, beautiful field   Far away in a land that is fair   Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart   Farewell, first lady of the air      Half an hour later her SOS was heard   Her signal?s weak but still her voice was brave   In shark-infested waters her aeroplane went down that night   In the blue Pacific to a watery grave      There?s a beautiful, beautiful field   Far away in a land that is fair   Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart   Farewell, first lady of the air      Now you heard my story 'bout this awful tragedy   We all pray she?ll fly home safe again   In years to come, though others blaze a trail across the sea   We?ll ne?er forget Amelia and her plane      There?s a beautiful, beautiful field   Far away in a land that is fair   Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart   Farewell, first lady of the air      Farewell, first lady of the air
