Lyrics:
UAS in the USA
That drone that you just purchased
…went and purchased at the store
Here’s some things you gotta know
if it’s a half a pound or more
You gotta register that thing
as a U-A-S
With your name, with your number
and with home address
Before you charge it up
and start to let it to go
(Here’s some) other facts you’ll need
Some things you gotta know
To fly your UAS in the good ol’ USA
And stay within the rules set up by the big ol’ FAA
You’re a big-wig Unmanned Aircraft System operator
You can only fly for fun
You ain’t a commercial aviator
You’re now a big-wig Unmanned Aircraft System operator
That thing is just for fun
I’m like your new drone motivator
Don’t fly above a stadium
or fly close to a school
You can’t buzz by your friends
‘cause you know that just ain’t cool
(You gotta) keep it at four hundred feet
or somewhere down below
(I’m sayin’ that) there simply are
some rules you’ve gotta know
Just keep your drone in sight
and don’t let it go astray
‘cause all the real MANNED aircraft
have got the right of way
To safely fly your UAS within the USA
You gotta keep the nearest airport
over five miles away
You’re a big-wig Unmanned Aircraft System operator
You can only fly for fun
You ain’t a commercial aviator
You’re now a big-wig Unmanned Aircraft System operator
That thing is just for fun
I’m like your new drone motivator
Remember this my friend
if you’re here in the USA
You can only fly your drone
within the rules set by the F… A… A…
