What Do We Do? We Fly!

Lyrics

[Ms. Mcllhenny (Mr. Mcllhenny)} Lloyd tells me (Yes!) "Never go by plane" (Mhm) I tell Lloyd (She does!) "Flying is insane" (True!) We agree We would rather die We see a brochure And sign for a tour And what do we do? We fly! [Ms. Mcllhenny *spoken*] Y'know I think it takes longer to get to the airport than it does to get to Europe! It starts the minute you check in Departure time is at noon A cup of tea and a Schneken And quick! It's leaving soon! 1 o'clock and you're at the gate 2 o'clock and the flight's still late When you finally leave its eight And what do we do? we fly! (We fly!) What do we do? We fly! [Flight Attendant] Have another martini? [Ms. Mcllhenny] Why of course, Marcel! [Mr. Mcllhenny] Everytime, honey! [Ms. Mcllhenny (Leona)] I hate planes! (I agree) Sitting three abreast (You're like me!) I hate planes (I do too) Never get a rest (What about you?) I hate planes [Mr. Mcllhenny] I hate Every single one The crossing was rough Which wasn't enough The fun hadn't yet begun [Ms. Mcllhenny *spoken*] On our plane, we ran into an electrical storm and there was this lady with a hearing aid! The seat was throwing my back out But there I was with a book When suddenly there's a blackout And everywhere I look Is a close-up of Doris Day Ninety minutes of Doris Day There was nothing to do but pray And how do we go? We fly! Why? How do we go? We fly! [Ms. Mcllhenny *spoken*] My mother won't even get off the ground! [Mr. Mcllhenny *spoken*] You should see her! [Mr. Mcllhenny, Ms. Mcllhenny (Leona)] I hate planes (I agree) Most of all the sound (You're like me) I hate planes (Have a drink) Even on the ground (What do you think?) Can't stand planes [Jennifer Yaeger] I hate Even more than those The kids in the aisle Surrounding you while Their parents pretend to doze [Jennifer Yaeger *spoken*] I don't think the airlines allow babies unless they promise to cry The kid I noticed the first was The one who stood on my feet The kid I hated the worst was The one who kicked my seat There was one on the right who spit There was one on the left who bit There was one in the back I hit But what did we do? We flew! Ooh! What did we do? We flew! [Mr. Mcllhenny *spoken*] Oh no no no I really couldn't have another one [Ms. Mcllhenny *spoken*] It's only water! [Mr. Mcllhenny *spoken*] Okay! [Mr, Ms. Mcllhenny, Jennifer (Leona)] I hate planes (I agree) Never had a doubt (You're like me) I hate planes (I'm that way) Always feel a drought (What do you say?) Can't stand planes [Eddie Yaeger] I hate Most of all the chow To know what is what Is difficult but I think I've discovered how! [Eddie Yaeger *spoken*] You're just about to fall asleep! [Jennifer Yaeger *spoken*] Uh huh [Eddie Yaeger *spoken*] When they shove a tray at you [Jennifer Yaeger *spoken*] That's true [Eddie Yaeger] The shiny stuff is tomatoes The salad lies in a group The curly stuff is potatoes The stuff that moves is soup Anything that is white is sweet Anything that is brown is meat Anything that is grey don't eat But what do we do? We fly! Why? What do we do? We fly! *All of them talk at the same time* [All] You're zooming up like a comet Your ears are starting to ring Your neighbor's starting to vomit There's ice along the wing As you wait for your palms to dry You can see your whole life pass by And they tell you it's fun to fly Your chance of survival's so remote You're far better off to cut your throat But who has the time to take a boat What do we do? We fly!
