But you were on the ship and I was on the shore.

Additional quotes by Jimmy Kennedy

Time to fly away,
Gentlemen, please.
Fly away into the abyss,
Every night at 9 o'clock

But it was just the spring fooling me.

Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
