1 mile high
In Saudia Arabia they are building a shack
going to be a mile high
With parachutes for the top floors, Jack
F15 ejector seats stand by
Lower floors have slides
And some have flying foxes
So don’t be looking down your nose
No need to be obnoxious
So up there in the clouds you’ll sit
Low flying planes a zooming by
Watch out for Pelican grit
plaster from the sky
Don Johnson
