Lyrics
Listen, everybody, lemme tell you ‘bout speed
He had made in the time of need.
Get up in the mornin’ and put on your shoes,
You can read about Howard Hughes.
Oh, Lord, read about Howard Hughes.
Get up in the mornin’, read about Howard Hughes.

When Howard Hughes left Floyd Bennett Field
Up in the air he began to rock and reel
All alone up in the air
He would speak to his friend about the Worl’y Fair
Oh, Lord, ‘bout that Worl’y Fair.
He’d speak to his friend about the Worl’y Fair.

Howard Hughes was a millionaire
He said, “I gwine-a take a little trip in the air.”
He’d taken a trip all around this world.
To try to beat the record of that great Lindbergh
Oh, Lord, of that great Lindbergh
Tried to beat the record of that great Lindbergh.

Kastherine Hepburn was at home on her knees
Howard Hughes was in the air, he was fightin’ with speed
Howard Hughes got back home and he fell on the air
He says, “Look-a here gal, I’m going to that Worl’y Fair
Oh, Lord, I’m goin’ to that Worl’y Fair
Just look-a here gal, I’m goin’ to that Worl’y Fair.”
