Separates and lingerie, seven pairs of shoes
Lots of Woolworth's makeup, a pair of Blackwatch trews
Your out-of-tune piano, sentimental photographs
A million little memories, a million little laughs
The wing of the airplane has just caught on fire
I say without reservation we ain't getting no higher
All you wanted from me, all I had to give
Nothing matters you'll see, when in paradise you live
The plane is diving faster, we're getting near the ground
Nobody is screaming, no one makes a sound
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
Lots of Woolworth's makeup, a pair of Blackwatch trews
Your out-of-tune piano, sentimental photographs
A million little memories, a million little laughs
The wing of the airplane has just caught on fire
I say without reservation we ain't getting no higher
All you wanted from me, all I had to give
Nothing matters you'll see, when in paradise you live
The plane is diving faster, we're getting near the ground
Nobody is screaming, no one makes a sound
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl (Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)

This is sort of the back story to the rock-opera Tommy, which they would release later According to Pete Townshend's notes:
"It's a rock and roll airplane crash song with a real Pop Art plane crash and a happy reincarnation ending... I rarely leave any good idea unused. 'Rael' themes crop up in Tommy and so do the last lines of this. Of course, Tommy was a dear little boy."
