Duck had done fainted on takeoff.
Had his little head laying on my arm there.
His little tongue just all hanging out.

Got so close to Enterprise you could almost see that boll weevil monster.
Then I heard this sharp ringing in my ear.
Howdy, my name is Miss Pearl.
And I'll be your stewardess for the duration of this flight.
As you can see, Captain Clower has turned off the no chewing sign.
Now y'all feel free to kick your shoes off.
Get up, roam around, get to know your neighbors.
Right now I just want to get to know this good looking, handsome, young hunk of man right here.

Didn't know where he was.
Started running up and down the aisle.
Tripped over the ice cream freezer.
Stepped in Marcel's sweet potaters and flew out the screen door and was gone.
Nothing but fat.
Then I heard that voice again coming in over the intercom.
I can see Yazoo City from here.
Now don't y'all fret about that landing, none.
I got up early this morning and put on a brand new set of them Bigfoot mud gripper tights.
[C] Through rain and shine we stayed behind.
[G] Lord, it was quite a show.
[D] How that duck beat us to Yazoo, [C] well I guess I'll [G] never know.
[C] And that broody girl they call Miss [G] Pearl just wouldn't [Em] let me go.
[A] While that captain kept on talking on [D] his two-way radio.
