Song Description

Wrote this when my flight out of Houston was canceled

Lyrics

Nothing on the runway, where the plane should be,
Attention all you passengers, an airborne absentee,
Carts along the walkway, travelers looking tired,
God I need a men's room, I will not be denied,
Five more hours, how will I spend the time,
I don't think that I can handle, standing in another line.

Your flight has just been cancelled, please don't be annoyed,
All I do is work here and your time is null and void,
I'll get you on another flight, that leaves sometime next Spring,
Here's a voucher for some coffee, see we treat you like a king,
Like a king.

This guy from Oklahoma always kept his cool,
Unless he thought another did take him for a fool,
"I've got to get to Memphis, now!" He did exclaim,
"I'm sorry sir, I wish you well, but I am not to blame."
He got hot and bothered, words welled in his head,
He uttered a profanity when the agent said,

Your flight has just been cancelled, please don't be annoyed,
All I do is work here and your time is null and void,
I'll get you on another flight, that leaves sometime next Spring,
Here's a voucher for some coffee, see we treat you like a king,
Like a king.

I heard that all the airlines want to partner up,
No need for competition to better make a buck,
"No more hand held baggage, it's against our policy,
And if you get real hungry, you can eat for a small fee.
It won't affect our service, that's never been too high,
And if we play our cards right, we'll never have to fly."

Your flight has just been cancelled, please don't be annoyed,
All I do is work here and your time is null and void,
I'll get you on another flight, that leaves sometime next Spring,
Here's a voucher for some coffee, see we treat you like a king,
Like a king.
