There's a letter I know
From a scared C.E.O.
And he's buying some aircraft for BizJet.
If this deal does go through
Can Avolar be true?
Though I know we'll be worse off than before
Ooh, ooh, and he's buying some aircraft for BizJet.
Goodwin sits at his desk
Cause he wants to be sure
That the public will only have one choice.
Someone please tell this man
Remember Pan Am?
And that other mess known as Eastern?
Ooh, it makes me nervous,
Ooh, it makes me nervous.
There's a feeling I get
As Goodwin writes another check,
And I hear my seniority crying.
In my past I have seen
Wolf take with him my dreams
While the employees feel much more hopeless
Ooh, and it makes me nervous,
Ooh, it really makes me nervous.
And it's whispered that soon
Amongst all of our gloom
That the B.O.D. will make a decision.
Goodwin's time may soon end
A pink slip they'll send
Given the problems we all had last summer.
"Does anybody remember 2000?"
If there's a big drop in your stock price
Don't be selling now,
It's just more income for the traders.
You had two paths back in '94
But in the long run
Blame the ESOP that you all climbed on
And it makes me nervous.
The end is closer and it won't go
In case you don't know,
Goodwin's calling you to join him.
Dear public, go and open up your eyes,
And are you surprised?
This purchase will result in no-win.
And as we fly up in the sky
One day you'll turn and wonder why
There goes an airline we all know
It once had the chance to truly grow
From the inside out, a good cash flow.
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last.
We are close to being out of cash
The Friendly Skies as we bury our soul?
And he's buying some aircraft for BizJet.
