《Is This Any Way To Run An Airline?(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:01] Oh the airline ticket reservation counter lady

[00:00:04] Is a very special friend of mine

[00:00:08] When I asked her in the morning

[00:00:10] If my flight was ready

[00:00:12] She assured me it was right on time

[00:00:15] Oh the taxi to the airport

[00:00:17] Cost me seven or eight

[00:00:19] And the porter got another buck or two

[00:00:23] When some joker on the microphone said sorry

[00:00:28] But we've got a little bad news for you

[00:00:33] It's getting cloudy up in Boston

[00:00:35] Montreal is socked in tight

[00:00:37] Washington is closed for Christmas

[00:00:38] Philadelphia's out on strike

[00:00:40] Minnesota's up to here in snow

[00:00:43] And Tulsa's Closed tonight you know

[00:00:46] Please be patient five more minutes

[00:00:47] Hope you have a pleasant flight

[00:00:52] Oh the airlines passenger relations representative

[00:00:56] Was very sympathetic to me

[00:00:59] Just as soon as we completely

[00:01:01] Overhaul your astroliner

[00:01:03] You;ll be airborne just as quick as can be

[00:01:06] Then of course we'll need a stewerdess

[00:01:09] But never you mind

[00:01:10] We'll have one trained in plenty of time

[00:01:14] Won't you settle in our astrolounge in comfort

[00:01:19] We'll be leaving at a quarter of nine

[00:01:23] But the astrolounge was crowded

[00:01:25] And the coffee shop was crammed

[00:01:27] The coke machine was broken

[00:01:29] And they closed the hot dog stand

[00:01:31] I couldn't find a magazine

[00:01:33] They broke the cigarette machine

[00:01:36] The shoeshine boy was sleeping

[00:01:37] And my radio was jammed

[00:01:42] Oh I carefully examined every corner of the building

[00:01:46] For the next fourteen hours or so

[00:01:50] And the bulletins kept coming

[00:01:51] From the reservation counter

[00:01:53] Yessiree we're getting ready to go

[00:01:57] For we're flying in another plane

[00:01:59] From London you see

[00:02:00] Any minute now that plane should appear

[00:02:04] You'll be leaving in a minute providing

[00:02:10] This little bit of nasty weather should clear

[00:02:15] For it's getting cloudy up in Boston

[00:02:17] And it's snowing up in Maine

[00:02:19] Los Angeles is hopeless

[00:02:21] And Chicago's getting rain

[00:02:23] You've had a couple dirty days

[00:02:25] But your ticket's good for thirty days

[00:02:28] And when the runway is completed

[00:02:30] Would you like to board your plane
