The Great Airplane Strike - The Raiders[00:00:01]
I was down in L A town [00:00:26]
When our manager said "Jump"[00:00:28]
I threw my clothes[00:00:31]
And my saxophone in a two by four bit trunk[00:00:32]
I pushed it to the airport and I ran to the ticket line[00:00:37]
Man said "Son you could have saved the run [00:00:42]
Those airplanes just quit flyin'"[00:00:45]
If I can't leave here I just might stay[00:00:47]
And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home[00:00:52]
Uh-huh[00:00:58]
I ran to the terminal building [00:01:01]
To fly by my airline[00:01:03]
The man said I could ride the wing[00:01:07]
And I said that was fine[00:01:09]
He said "I'll confirm your reservation [00:01:12]
And put the plane on hold"[00:01:14]
He come back and said "Sorry[00:01:18]
But that wing space just been sold"[00:01:19]
If I can't leave here I just might stay[00:01:23]
And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home[00:01:28]
Um-hum baby[00:01:33]
I walked into the washroom[00:01:37]
And I built myself a fire[00:01:39]
Threw on lots of paper[00:01:43]
And the flames kept gettin' higher[00:01:44]
The janitor come runnin' in [00:01:48]
So scared his face was white[00:01:50]
So I explained my situation [00:01:54]
He said "That's all right"[00:01:57]
If I can't leave here I just might stay[00:01:58]
And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home[00:02:05]
Next day I thought that I would leave [00:02:10]
So I packed my things again[00:02:16]
I waited 14 hours for a taxi to come in[00:02:19]
Spotted one that wasn't full[00:02:25]
And I threw myself in fast[00:02:27]
The driver said "I'm sorry [00:02:30]
But this taxi's out of gas"[00:02:32]
If I can't leave here I just might stay[00:02:35]
And that L A flyway is goin' to be my home[00:02:41]
