Lyrics

Sometimes when I fly
I want to rest
I’d like to recline

But that would be rude
So I lay my head
on a tray next to my food

Don’t lean on me
the hens say it’s wrong
I’ll bash your head with my fists or my carry-on
Please remember this song
and keep your damn seat in the upright position

A parody of Bill Withers, "Lean On Me"

    Jerry could let us addicts know what the 12 steps to recovery are ? Just had to explain why I was singing your lyrics when this came on the radio....O and the people related to me by work happen to all be Dutch accountants and fiscal experts....

    This really is one of the best you've ever done, Jerry. It made me laugh out loud a full month later.

    Two things: First, if I spend all preflight fighting with my neighbor over the arm rest and some old mummy yanks his seat into my lap as soon as the landing gear is up - that guy is going to become overhead luggage. Second, I love this, Jerry. Great Jerb!

    Word... That is truly sad. I'm back to the abbreviated version on espn.go.com...

    The demise of SameDayTony will probably limit my ability to jingle about current shows but I'll try!

    Thanks! My goal w/ the chorus was to work "upright position" into the lyrics somehow. It's funny that "carry-on" could mirror the original lyrics so well!

    The "carry-on" line is genius.
