"Flight 505"

Well, I was happy here at home

I got everything I need

Happy bein' on my own

Just living the life I lead

Well, suddenly it dawned on me

That this was not my life

So I just phoned the airline girl

And said, "Get me on flight number 505

Get me on flight number 505"

Well, I confirmed my reservation

Then I hopped a cab

No idea of my destination

And feeling pretty bad

With my suitcase in my hand

In my head, my new life

So then I told the airline girl

"Well, get me on flight number 505

Get me on flight number 505"

Alright

Well, I sat right there in my seat

Well, feeling like a king

With the whole world right at my feet

"Of course I'll have a drink"

Well, suddenly I saw

That we never ever would arrive

He put the plane down in the sea

The end of flight number 505

The end of flight number 505

Alright

Whew, they put the plane down in the sea

The end of flight number 505

The end of flight number 505
