The Lyrics
Tanya had the original hit, #1 on the country chart in 1973. Helen Reddy then had the pop #1 hit.
Delta flight.
Why ain't we flying tonight?
Could it be long background check made of that guy?
And did I hear them say
that we would still have to pay
even though we won't heading for the sky.
Flight 41, leaves at 10:00 from Newark, baby.
All the folks around the terminal feeling hazy.
And I walk around here with a suitcase in my hand
wondering how much more delay I can stand.
Delta flight.
Why ain't we flying tonight?
Could it be long background check made of that guy?
And did I hear them say
that we would still have to pay
even though we won't heading for the sky.
Just last Saturday, I booked a Delta flight.
Prettiest stewardesses in my sight.
But a man of low degree was taken aside
and it took so long to check him, cancelled my ride.

a song for the times
Low airfare, but high priced frustration..well said..5's
Last boarding call for flight 555...
excellent! 5's
the delay would be a LOT easier to stand, mate, if you just put that suitcase down for a few minutes - and no way should you pay for the experience - I'm OUTRAGED on your behalf, MP - (I'm writing Delta a poison letter as soon as I finish this comment!) (and have a cup of tea) - 555
Well written
Flying you some friendly fives.
