I was a waiter at the Jockey Club
And though the great and the good would all come
Wanda was feted above everyone
They threw a banquet in her honour - me the lucky man to wait upon her
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Oh to go on crazy day trips, with that famous aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Darling of the Jockey Club!
She wanted to be the first one to do
The journey from Greenland, down to Peru
But she got thirsty near Kalamazoo
So she took a quick spin across the Rockies, just to have a Gin Sling at the Jockey's
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Oh to go on crazy day trips, with that champion aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Darling of the Jockey Club!
While waiting tables I noticed this guy
Trying to take all the jewels he could find
I was just able to stop him in time
Well you don't get far if you get hit
Over the head with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Oh to go on lazy day trips, with that famous aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda!
Darling of the Jockey Club!
But in a rotten turn of events
The champagne cork popped, the head waiter got drenched
I was sacked on the spot; Wanda, she was incensed
She said to me Hey,
Mr
Waiter!
Would
you
like
to
be
my
Navigator?
Wanda, oh Wanda!
And now we go on lazy day trips, me and my sweet aviatrix
Wanda, oh Wanda!
When it's five o'clock we fly across the Rockies, and dine out at the Jockey Club!
