Lyrics:
When there's a push or a pull on an object's course,
That's a force!
And there are four we've got to idenify,
If you wanna know how airplanes fly!

They're thrust, drag, weight, and lift!
Thrust, drag, weight, and lift!

Thrust is the force of forward motion,
And move forward, you will!
As long as you overcome the force of drag,
That can keep you standin' still!

The other part is the upward part,
Which starts with the shape of the wings!
If you compare the air above and beneath 'em,
You'll find a big difference between 'em!

The air on bottom gets all bunched up,
Creating pressure!
While the air on top speeds quickly along,
So it's force on the wing is lesser!

That creates a force called lift,
Which lifts you off the ground,
As long as it's stronger,
Than the force of weight pulling you down!

Thrust, drag, weight, and lift!
Thrust, drag, weight, and lift!
Thrust, drag, weight, and lift! (Take you to the sky!)
Thrust, drag, weight, and lift is how airplanes fly, fly, fly!
