The Lyrics

It's still the safest way to travel...but not always the most pleasant...
Ooooh
Ahhhh

(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s walkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)

In the middle of m’ flight
While I try to get some sleep
I get smacked in face
By this idiot creep
I think he’s lookin’ for somethin’
In the overhead bin
But the aisle isn’t wide
I get socked in the chin

Even though he knows the aisle isn’t wide
He’ll just block ev’rybody who might wanna get by
It doesn’t matter if my comments are snide
Cause when he’s finally done I get kneed in the thigh

In the middle of m’ flight
Little baby starts to scream
Ev’rybody can hear
‘Cept his mom, who’s in dreams
Wants a bottle or something
And it’s takin’ a toll
Think my eardrums are bruised
No emotion control

The gal beside me is talking all night
But girl I'm tired and I don't want to talk anymore
She wants a man to love the rest of her life
But all she finds are the ones WHO lie, cheat and snore

In the middle of m’ flight
Someone thinks they oughta eat
Pulling out what they brought
Stinky garlic-y meat
And now I'm searching for something
Just to cover my nose
Cause that aroma is mean
Yeah it smells really gross
In the middle of my flight

(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s walkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s walkin’ in the)

I’m not sure about a life after this
When TURB-ulence hits I’m pretty sure that we’ll die
Left engine’s on fire, the plane’s startin’ to quiver
It’ll plummet through the endless sky

In the middle of m’ flight
We’re all yellin’ screamin’ BLEEP!!
Cause the plane’s gonna crash
In a fire-y heap
We won’t land in the ocean
No we’re gonna get creamed
So I’m singin’ my song
Through my life endin’ screams
In the middle of my flight

(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s walkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s talkin’ in the)
(In the middle of m’)
(Someone’s walkin’ in the)

While you're still in the middle, I guess you're still okay..it's that ending that sometimes turns out bad.

This is pretty excellent! My most favorite of yours in a long time! Glad you were able to finish in time for today and weren't lame like some people... ;)

"The gal beside me is talking all night But girl I'm tired and I don't want to talk anymore She wants a man to love the rest of her life But all she finds are the ones WHO lie, cheat and snore" (Were you sitting to your clone on that flight Arwen?) Great parody! I loved every part about this because it's all so annoyingly true.

Great parody, and points out all of the reasons that I don't fly anymore!

AFW...hahaha...true enough. Thanks!

Jeffster...Thanks...so glad you like it. As you know, that last stanza was killer...and then...it turned out to be killer. :)

Matty...Actually...the difference between me and that girl is that I don't share my love woes with strangers on flights. I share them with strangers online. Haha. Thanks so much!

Porfle...haha. I actually prefer flying to most forms of transportation...but ONLY for the speed factor. Thanks for stopping by!

alvin...=) Thanks...and HI!

(AofA) You took the red eye straight to my 555's!

Never heard the OS before...and the last time I was on a plane was when I was 3, but this was still really really good!

(Ages) Wow, talk about a frequent flyer mile. Hmmmm....yes, flying is a real pain. The only things I don't like about flying is getting airsick on the plane. And another thing to consider is a freak accident with plane crashes. Victims that come to my mind are Roy Orbison and Aliyah....may the rest in peace. And I also love to fly as long as I sit in the aisle seat, so I could easily go to the lavatory in case I get sick....very convenient for me. Great job on the parody, literally paced and fitted, and great description of situations and events during plane travel.

(Ages) The first verse reminds me of a Lee Evans routine, about how the last people to get on the plane is always "the tracksuit family", jamming stuff in the overheard and going "sorry about the big fat ASS in yer FACE". Classic bit. Anyway, awesome parody to an awesome Billy Joel song. 555!
