The Lyrics
Strangers on my flight,
turbans they're packin'.
Wonderin' if they might,
plan a hijacking.
They could pull a stunt,
before this flight is through.
Something's on their minds.
I saw them mutter.
What that in their hands?
Looks like box cutters,
I'm gonna kick some ass,
if they make a move.
Strangers on my flight.
Two smelly people,
and they're not talking right;
and in a moment,
I will grab base ball bat;
and that will be that.
Swing like Joe DiMaggio,
and rip them both a new a-hole.
And if they pick a fight,
and try to screw us,
I'll punch out their lights,
just like Joe Louis.
It would feel so right,
for strangers on my flight.
Ratta Tat Tat Tat,
Budda Bing Bang Boom,
Zooma Zooma Zoom.
Send those bastards to the moon....
turbans they're packin'.
Wonderin' if they might,
plan a hijacking.
They could pull a stunt,
before this flight is through.
Something's on their minds.
I saw them mutter.
What that in their hands?
Looks like box cutters,
I'm gonna kick some ass,
if they make a move.
Strangers on my flight.
Two smelly people,
and they're not talking right;
and in a moment,
I will grab base ball bat;
and that will be that.
Swing like Joe DiMaggio,
and rip them both a new a-hole.
And if they pick a fight,
and try to screw us,
I'll punch out their lights,
just like Joe Louis.
It would feel so right,
for strangers on my flight.
Ratta Tat Tat Tat,
Budda Bing Bang Boom,
Zooma Zooma Zoom.
Send those bastards to the moon....

Sir, this is so true, when flying out of ~SFO~ to Roma, Italia . . . . But if they can wear their 'urbans, I can flaunt my fishNets!
First and foremost, nicely done! Are you from greater Cincinnati by chance? I heard a very similar version a few years ago from a guest singer gentlemen who did this routine with a band I lead. If it's you, wow...what a small world. If it isn't, again great job! :)
Play it again and again. Every 9-11. Sing it at karaoke night!
And if you do sing this at a karaoke, be sure to give credit to Oleg Atbasian who runs a blog called The People's Cube, because he's the guy who wrote this song back in 2006
Pretty witty. Not so funny. If all bad guys wore turbans, all good guys had a cross on a necklace, how simple the world's problems would be. In this real world, I know good guys in turbans and cretins with crosses. I am Christian. Yep. Could be funnier.
Great parody! The rhyme, meter, Americana. And the coda Ratta tat tat tat! I live in India and have sung this for American colleagues and they can hardly stay in their seats for laughing. Great job! Please do many more. Especially on a certain outgoing President ; )
