As we soar into the sky I scream - 'we're going to die', And I hear the mutters of disgust At my making so much fuss, So I order a double whisky Even though I know it's risky, Then dodge the glares from the cabin crew Whilst dashing frantically to the loo
With sweating hands and swelling feet Well, I do my best to eat, But have to pacify my neighbour For what he calls my foul behaviour, He's looking green and somewhat mad Because I've missed the paper bag, And all my pleas and abundant tears For another drink - fall on deaf ears
I scream again - 'we're going down' And yes - we're safely on the ground, And as I stagger down the aisle I throw the stewardess a rueful smile, But I'm perplexed by her rendition Of her belief in competition, And as she helps me off the plane She recommends the high-speed train
