Somewhere just beyond Southall
Big planes land
At a place that's named Heathrow
Especially at Terminal 2.
It's due a brand new building
For 2014
So today it shuts down 'til then
And all flights will go to T4
It opened 1955
The Queen came to the ceremony
To bless it.
The Beatles, Royals, Sinatra too
Monroe, Paltrow, 8 million a year
All passed through there.
Some time in the near future
When work's complete
We'll judge how good the upgrade is
By how long the queues can be.
The last flight to land here today
Is Air France, from Paris...
... then goodnight, au revoir.
