Helicopter Lyrics by XTC

Drums and Wires

1979

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!

[Verse 1]
I'm crouching here with a telescope in hand
Looking out across our Legoland
I really think it's about time that she came down
She a laughing, giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be ob-heard
I really think it's about time that she came down

[Pre-Chorus]
And I object to all the air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
Oh!

[Chorus]
When she's up there twirling 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling 'round, 'round, 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!

[Verse 2]
Now she's away from convent, she's gone wild
She's grown from a nice young lady to a child
I really think it's about time that she came down
She's a laughing, giggly whirlybird
She got to be obscene to be ob-heard
I really think it's about time that she came down

[Pre-Chorus]
And I object to all the air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
The air male that she pick up
Oh!

[Chorus]
When she's up there twirling 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling 'round, 'round, 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!

[Instrumental break]

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!

[Chorus]
When she's up there twirling 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter
She's landing on the town
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there twirling 'round, 'round, 'round
Just like a helicopter, 'copter

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!

[Chorus]
When she's up there twirling 'round...
Like a helicopter, 'copter
She's landing on the town — look out, town!
It's about time that I stopped her, stopped her
When she's up there flushing 'round, 'round, 'round...

[Refrain]
Oh, heli!
Oh, heli!
