Oh the airline ticket reservation counter lady[00:00:01]
Is a very special friend of mine[00:00:04]
When I asked her in the morning[00:00:08]
If my flight was ready[00:00:10]
She assured me it was right on time[00:00:12]
Oh the taxi to the airport[00:00:15]
Cost me seven or eight[00:00:17]
And the porter got another buck or two[00:00:19]
When some joker on the microphone said sorry[00:00:23]
But we've got a little bad news for you[00:00:28]
It's getting cloudy up in Boston[00:00:33]
Montreal is socked in tight[00:00:35]
Washington is closed for Christmas[00:00:37]
Philadelphia's out on strike[00:00:38]
Minnesota's up to here in snow[00:00:40]
And Tulsa's Closed tonight you know[00:00:43]
Please be patient five more minutes[00:00:46]
Hope you have a pleasant flight[00:00:47]
Oh the airlines passenger relations representative[00:00:52]
Was very sympathetic to me[00:00:56]
Just as soon as we completely[00:00:59]
Overhaul your astroliner[00:01:01]
You;ll be airborne just as quick as can be[00:01:03]
Then of course we'll need a stewerdess[00:01:06]
But never you mind[00:01:09]
We'll have one trained in plenty of time[00:01:10]
Won't you settle in our astrolounge in comfort[00:01:14]
We'll be leaving at a quarter of nine[00:01:19]
But the astrolounge was crowded[00:01:23]
And the coffee shop was crammed[00:01:25]
The coke machine was broken[00:01:27]
And they closed the hot dog stand[00:01:29]
I couldn't find a magazine[00:01:31]
They broke the cigarette machine[00:01:33]
The shoeshine boy was sleeping[00:01:36]
And my radio was jammed[00:01:37]
Oh I carefully examined every corner of the building[00:01:42]
For the next fourteen hours or so[00:01:46]
And the bulletins kept coming[00:01:50]
From the reservation counter[00:01:51]
Yessiree we're getting ready to go[00:01:53]
For we're flying in another plane[00:01:57]
From London you see[00:01:59]
Any minute now that plane should appear[00:02:00]
You'll be leaving in a minute providing[00:02:04]
This little bit of nasty weather should clear[00:02:10]
For it's getting cloudy up in Boston[00:02:15]
And it's snowing up in Maine[00:02:17]
Los Angeles is hopeless[00:02:19]
And Chicago's getting rain[00:02:21]
You've had a couple dirty days[00:02:23]
But your ticket's good for thirty days[00:02:25]
And when the runway is completed[00:02:28]
Would you like to board your plane[00:02:30]
