Been awhile - 'butt' as so often happens the news feeds spark an idea. I made a snide comment to my friend and fellow musician, and she said 'sounds like there is a song there' - thanx again Leslie!
BOTTOM LINE
We are off to the airport - well how’s the weather today
A long awaited vacation - hope there are no delays
They’re fueling the plane - doin’ their pre-flight checks
How lucky are we - it’s one of their brand new jets
So we all climb aboard - stuff things under our seats
The overhead compartments are full - ain’t much room at our feet
Time to buckle our seat belts - and put up those seat trays
It won’t be long now - and we’ll be on our way
We wait on the tarmac - looks like we’re gonna be next
Seems like it’s taking forever - we’re all a bit perplexed
We taxi to the runway - we are finally lifting off
Just one minor problem - one of the doors falls off
Just a few bumps and bruises - no need to worry
They’ll just build us another one - in a bit of a hurry
We’re just a butt in the seat - part of their bottom line
Enjoy that packet of pretzels - and have another glass of wine
Thanks for flying with us - into those friendly skies
Search your credit card statement - for those frequent flier miles
And cinch up your seat belts - those doors are gonna be fine
Keeping your butts in the seats - sustains our bottom line
Cinch up those seat belts - those doors are gonna be fine
Keep your butt in the seat - it’s all about our bottom line
