Return

Eddie Purser:
Whatever happened to my classy flights? Eddie
People dressed up sharp and we looked so bright.
It's not been the same since Southwest Airlines
Brought greyhound tickets, only $19.95!

I used to bid with all the crews who'd go
Out on layovers and our fun would show.
The pilots were there and we all would know
This wasn't just a job, we really had a good time....

Oh Air Travel, what a show!
How I watched those carry-ons grow!

My clothes used to reek from their cigarette smoke.
The cabin sections divided it was such a joke.
I'd get stuck working in the back, and that's when I'd choke
And I'd collapse on the jumpseat with the stars in my eyes---
Go back up front and put some coffee on
Whatever don't kill you just keeps makin' you strong!
It's awfully hard work but it's always where we belong.
Those were some tough flights. But we really had a good time!

Oh Air Travel, what a show!
How I watched those carry-ons grow!
