Spare Parts Verse 1: Orville and Wilbur Wright, Two Brothers with a dream Wanted to build and pilot the world’s first heavier-than-air powered flying machine And they knew it would be a little tricky and they might get a little hurt But that wasn’t enough to stop them from doing all their work Pre Chorus: So they made a plan for that first test, yeah, they had a plan and it was the best Chorus: They had spare parts just in case They knew they might crash but that’s okay Spare parts for that airplane so if it went down it’d go up again ‘cus they learned from their mistakes Verse 2: They headed off to Kitty Hawk with sand dunes by the sea They started off with a glider and after a thousand flights they could see How to solve the problem of sustained lift and how to take control They were ready to put the engine on and let that Wright Flyer go And they had a plan for that first test, yeah, they had a plan and it was the best Chorus: They had spare parts just in case They Did crash but that’s okay Spare parts for that airplane and when it went down it went up again ‘cus they learned from their mistakes Bridge: So when you look up into the sky And see an airplane flying by Remember Orville and Wilbur Wright ‘cus their testing led to the Age of Flight they had Spare parts Spares parts they had Spare Parts Spare Parts
