Goodbye to all my friends I've known
And the
travel agent I trusted.
I'm riding along on
this beat-up old plane;
Look out the window.
All the rivets are rusted.

As that ground
crew pushes us backwards
On that rickety
L-1011,
I'm feeling around for that flotation
device,
And when the safety film is
shown,
I'm payin' close
attention.

Beat-up old jetliner,
Hope
you got a tune-up today.
Ohhhh, beat-up old
jetliner,
Did they sneak you past the
FAA?

Bouncin' 'round in a thunder
cloud,
Landing gear won't come down.
My
seatback is up and my belt is on.
I see the
fire crews sprayin' foam on the
ground.

And if I get to my final
destination,
I know the next flight will
surely be free.
But I don't think I'll go back
up
Into that piece of shit just to save a few
pennies.

Beat-up old jetliner
Won't
carry me too far today.
Ohhhh, give me a fresh
airliner;
I don't care what I've got to
pay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.

Beat-up old jetliner,
Don't carry
me too far today.
Ohhhh, beat-up old
jetliner,
'Cause it's home that I'd rather
stay.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your
captain speaking.
I've just turned off the
no-smokin' sign.
I figure, hell, if the
plane's smokin' why shouldn't you.
