Oh, Back When The Airplane Was The Aeroplane & More Magical Than Sleigh Rides!

From the How Many Days Till Christmas, a calendar to make for kids, inside Today's Woman Christmas Ideas magazine (1962), comes this diddy, sung to the tune of Jingle Bells:

Flying through the air,
In a private aeroplane
O'er the world we go,
High above the rain!
Wings on airplane zoom
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A flying song tonight!

Zoom and whirr! Zoom and whirr!
The sky's an open lane!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a zooming aeroplane!
Zoom and whirr! Zoom and whirr!
The sky's an open lane.
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a zooming aeroplane!
