You take it or you leave it but I'm telling anyhow There's a story you should know Amelia was a hero in all of your hearts And that's all they want you to know She landed in the headlines on the first day of July When Electra hit the ocean bed And flying fifteen hundred miles from her allotted course Was not what all the newsstands said She left with Captain Noonan, her navigating force From New Guinea to the Howland Isles And thirty minutes fuel left, "No landfall" came the cry And all of us believed them for a while Oh Amelia, it's true, you're the lady of the air This I'm not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said Is only half the truth, then Amelia For thirty days, the Lexington and others searched the sea Before pronouncing Earhart lost And all was going smoothly and the senators relaxed Amelia and Noonan paid the cost But the CBS man Goerner was confused by all the facts He said "There's someone telling lies Amelia's plane was not the one they detailed in the news The fuel tanks alone were twice that size" Oh Amelia, it's true, you're the lady of the air This I'm not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said Is only half the truth, then Amelia And Jesus Salas, one of many, he had no call to lie He was working in the harbour that day And Saipan was a wartime stronghold of the Japanese And Jesus saw the flyers led away So who's to point the finger more? So who's to say what's right? Me, I just wanted you to hear How brave Amelia Earhart, first lady of the air And Frederick Noonan ended their careers Oh Amelia, it's true, you're the lady of the air This I'm not disputing anyhow But if what Mr. Goerner said Is only half the truth, then Amelia, oh Amelia
