## Letra

La partitura la describe como una "canción de Fox-Trot" y estaba "Dedicada a la madre de 'Lucky Lindy'".

La letra de Glibert, tal como está impresa en la partitura, es la siguiente:

   From coast to coast we all can boast
   And sing a toast to one
   Who's made a name, for being game.
   He was born with wings as great
   As any bird that flies,
   A lucky star guides him afar.
   CORO: "Lucky Lindy," up in the sky
   Fair or windy,
   He's flying high
   Peerless, fearless, knows ev'ry cloud,
   The kind of a son makes a mother feel proud
   "Plucky Lindy" rides all alone
   In a little plane all his own;
   "Lucky Lindy" showed them the way
   And he's the hero of the day!
   Just like a child he simply smiled
   While we were wild with fear,
   This Yankee lad, the world went mad.
   Ev'rywhere they prayed for him
   To safely cross the sea,
   And he arrived in Gay Paree!
   CORO (repetido): "Lucky Lindy," up in the sky
   Fair or windy,
   He's flying high
   Peerless, fearless, knows ev'ry cloud,
   The kind of a son makes a mother feel proud
   "Plucky Lindy" rides all alone
   In a little plane all his own;
   "Lucky Lindy" showed them the way
   And he's the hero of the day!
