The Chamonix Song

This song is set to the tune of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by John Denver. Kinda get it in your head while reading it. Every great trip deserves a theme song!

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
Not really looking forward to flying in snow
I hate the long flights when I am not in control
But the dawn will be breakin' it'll be early morn
The car'll be outside and Ike blowin' his horn
Already I'm so anxious, but I have a mountain money roll

So it is time to fly get your gear and go
I am bundled up from head to toe
Cause I'm flying the Alps of Chamonix
Packed my passport and some Euros just in case
Oh, where I'll LZ … I will never know

There's so many monkey's in this town
So if you haven’t made it here, don’t be down
I will tell you stories of all the thrills
Every place I fly, I'll fly for you
Every beer I drink, I'll take a sip for you
When I come back I will bring you all my bills

So its time to fly get your gear and go
I'll land near a pub if I'm getting low
Glass off and XC flights are the plans
Cause I'm flying the Alps of Chamonix
With grassy launches and pubs on the LZ
Oh monkeys, I hate to go

Guitar Solo

Now I am, on the ground gotta go shopping with my wife
There are paragliding stores here, oh what a life
Close your eyes and read the stories
I've dreamed of these days that have finally come
Please read our tales cause this song is almost done

So its time to fly get your gear and go
We are going to be here a while so send some dough
Keep our visitors happy and fly real safe
Cause I'm flying the Alps of Chamonix
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh monkeys, I hate to go

So fly for me and I'll fly for you
I hope the stories will be mostly true
But you never know with the Reaper in tow
Where these stories will ever go!!!!

Cause It's Time to Fly Get Your Gear and GO !!
