Learned that song at Camp Maqua (if memory serves)… been trying to remember the rest. There were also motions to go with the words… Think the next part is something like:
When you hear the whistle blowin’
Time to fly your wings of steel!
You know that Junior Birdman
[something…something]
It takes:
5 bottlecaps
4 wrappers
3 [something]
2 [something]
and
1 thin dime
or
2 fat nickels
or
10 skinny pennies
or
a check for 10 cents!

OK, remembered a line!
Back to that stanza:
When you hear the whistle blowin’
Time to fly your wings of steel!
You know that Junior Birdmen
Have sent their boxtops in!

Great thoughts, but I now feel that we were in an unholy place

Yeah… well, you started it 😉 (and it’s “wings of tin”, not steel… ). Weird how that kicked off my brain, making it search for the long-buried lyrics…
Now for that newly-installed earworm to be replaced by something better again!
Up in the air, Junior Birdman!
Up in the air, upside down!
Up in the air, Junior Birdman!
Keep your noses to the ground!
Fantastic!
