Teterboro (Parody of the Beach Boy’s Kokomo)

L.A., Las Vegas, I wish that I could take us
Barbados, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, The Bahamas
Mont Tremblant, Toronto oh how I wish we could go
Miami

Out in New Jersey(s)
There’s a place called Teterboro
That’s where everybody goes
To be a part of it all

Lots of jets on the ramp
Loaded up waiting to start engines
They’ll be there for an hour
Before they even have the chance
Down in Teterboro

Houston, Austin, Dallas even Boston
Midway, Tampa, so you wanna go to Napa
Provo, Jackson Hole, they just won’t let us go

Ooo I wanna get you out of Teterboro
We wanna leave
But they won’t let us go
Just heard on the radio
Were stuck in Teterboro

Get in, can’t get out just like a roach motel now.

In a line of twenty three
I’ll offer you my apologies
but our chance to leave won’t be for hours you see.

Traffic stopped over White
Cause Newark saw a cloud in the sky
That tired look in our eyes
As we run out of duty time
Way down in Teterboro

Milwaukee, Kenosha, Oooo I’d love ta show ya
San Jose, Saint Simon, St. Augustine the islands
Dulles, Waukegan chance of leaving’s slim to none

Ooo I wanna get you out of Teterboro
We wanna leave
But they won’t let us go
Just heard on the radio
Were stuck in Teterboro

Farmingdale this feels like we’re in jail

Everybody knows
A busy place like Teterboro
Now if you wanna go
And be stuck in it all
Fly out of Teterboro

Oakland, and Tucson, Anderson, and Aspen
Muncie, Indy, Springfield’s what you won’t see
Salt Lake, Toledo, your plans have been torpedoed

Ooo I wanna get you out of Teterboro
We wanna leave
But they won’t let us go
Just heard on the radio
Were stuck in Teterboro

Vancouver, Seattle, Scottsdale, Kalamazoo
Bar Harbor, Nashville hope you’ve got time to kill
Boca, Lexington baby this is no fun

Ooo I wanna get you outta teterboro etc…

    Gotta love Dave Carrol/Sons of Maxwell Dave and bro are both volunteer firefighters. My best freind flys for Clay Lacy Aviation out of Van Nuys, and his brother flys a RJ out of Atlanta. EAA 2010 in Oskosh was great this year

    Hey MikernJust thought I would say hello from your biggest Canadian fan!rnSomething tells me you’ve definitely put Teterboro on the map for all those less-aviation-oriented foks out there. Great song, awesome video. I’ know I’m hooked! And thanks for the words, appreciate it.

    Mike, this is @MrJohnThomasJones from youtube…I’ve been so impressed by “Teterboro” that I have taken the list of airports and am flying between each one in order on FSX. I’m an aspiring pilot who can’t afford lessons right now, but one day I will. Great song, and keep up the great work! Keep flying high!

    Was in TEB this week as a thunderstorm pounded PA MD WV DC VA IN KY OH and the snow caused TEB to go into the deicing plan, as well as the SWAP. This song came into my head instantly.

    The instructors played this during my TMU refresher class at Cleveland Center this week. Very cool. Request direct, and you’ll get it from us.

    I just discovered your Teterboro Video. It is GREAT. I am not a pilot. I lived in NJ and worked in Teterboro for 18 years at the Aviation manufacturing plant Bendix which bought out AlliedSignal, which bought out Honeywell. Brings back memories of the place. Great song, great video I’m your newest fan.
