Lyrics

Pilot of the airplane
Can I smell your breath?
I hope you're not offended
can't ya' see I'm scared to death
I'm a star on TV and the radio
and you don't wanna crash with me.....
Flying in deathtraps is a game of chance
Can't unwind
Get me drunk before I pee my pants
Well if I live through this I'm gonna play some golf
Yes I think I'll need to take a whole week offfffffff.....
Deep in flight I'm still wide awake, turbulence gives me the chills
Pilot says "3 more hours"
Well I'm gonna need a lot more pilllllllllllllllllllllllllllls
Oooooh when will the drugs kick in?
Oooooh I don't wanna do this again
'Cause flying's no fun (flyin's no fun)
Flying's no fun to me
Pilot of the airplane
here is my request
I'd like to get to 'Frisco so I hope you do your best
Well I'm meeting Gretchen Wu from the radio
yeah she seems like a friend to me

Also not familiar with the tune but very familiar needing lots of drugs to fly. I don't typically ask to smell the breath of the pilots though. You crushed this, Joe!

That's funny on the follow up song... She had a whole airplane thing going. I can't recall ever hearing of her... and actually thought she was a he until you posted that link. I will have to go listen to both of those.

The follow up single to this song, which never charted , was entitled "Fear Of Flying"....

Quite shocked that it appears some folks don't remember the song. Charlie Dore is actually a female, so you know. Always love the tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGKrgJZhpzk

Very funny recap of what I'd think is a strange encounter for those pilots. This song is a new one to me as well, but I like it.

Never heard the original that I know of but this is hilarious. As a questionable flyer myself sadly I can relate to most of this.

can i smell your breath? begins to capture his lunacy, and it keeps doubling down. it's hard not to feel bad for him. the really sad thing is that even though this is a funny parody it actually isn't all that far from his actual experience.
