This song comes from the amazing story of Shinji Suzuki, a professor at Tokyo University’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and his attempt to launch a paper plane in space and bring it back down to earth.. and what would happen if other nations followed suit.

lyrics
In Japan Mister Suzuki
Had a plan just a little bit kooky
Paper planes from sugar cane
Prototypes for the gravy train
Re-entering the atmosphere
They'll be landing nobody knows where
Tiny paper planes are flying
A million dollars just for trying...
When other nations are so bold
A million newspapers are sold
And the story still unfolds...
Ooh - how very entertaining
Aah - it's raining paper planes..
To boldly go where noone's been A4
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door
Wash up on an astral shore
Or trampled on a dusty floor
Pasta ships and boomerangs
Fish and chips and French meringues
Paper-weights paper plates
And bric-a-brac from outer space
Craft of every shape and size
And flavour fill the skies
Foolscap's stratospheric cost
Earth is paper and is lost...
Had a plan just a little bit kooky
Paper planes from sugar cane
Prototypes for the gravy train
Re-entering the atmosphere
They'll be landing nobody knows where
Tiny paper planes are flying
A million dollars just for trying...
When other nations are so bold
A million newspapers are sold
And the story still unfolds...
Ooh - how very entertaining
Aah - it's raining paper planes..
To boldly go where noone's been A4
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door
Wash up on an astral shore
Or trampled on a dusty floor
Pasta ships and boomerangs
Fish and chips and French meringues
Paper-weights paper plates
And bric-a-brac from outer space
Craft of every shape and size
And flavour fill the skies
Foolscap's stratospheric cost
Earth is paper and is lost...
