Lyrics
[Intro]
We got time for one more
Two more
Three more
No
One more
Okay, two more
Maybe three more
This one's called "747 (Strangers in the Night)"
[Instrumental]
Come on now
Let's speed everything up
Woo
[Instrumental]
Here we go
Ayy, ayy, ayy
[Verse 1]
We've got a seven forty seven coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights
Radio operator, try to get a message through
Tell the flight deck New York has no lights
There's no power, what do we do?
A seven forty seven coming down in the night
Try to get a message through
[Chorus]
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Verse 2]
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
Flight from Hawaii, coming out of the sun
Kennedy, you should be in sight
We can't see a thing here in the night
The navigator says we're on the flight path
There's no radio, no sign of life
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake, get your ground lights on
[Chorus]
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Instrumental]
We got a seven forty seven going into the night
There's no power, they don't know why
They've no fuel, they've got to land soon
They can't land by the light of the moon
They're overshooting, there's no guiding lights
Set a course into the night
This is Scandinavian one-o-one
For God's sake, get your ground lights on
[Chorus]
We were strangers in the night (Come on)
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
[Outro]
In the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Strangers in the night (Oh)
