I used to believe that the song "Big Ol' Jet Airliner" went like this:
Big old Jed and Lila
Carried me to Faraway
Big old Jed and Lila
Cause it's here that I gotta stay
I pictured two huge old people carrying little kids on their backs to a place called Faraway and not letting them go home again if they were bad. LOL I had a vivid imagination!
