Sides face, grand sweep
Yeah, ya all, there I was
Just stepped on board flight 78492100...9765432...827652...7
Flying non-stop from Hahira, Georgia to Yazoo City, Mississippi
Done bought me one of them triple ultra-super saver center seat tickets
Set down there between a duck and a Leadbetter
Fella tried to talk to me, couldn't understand a word he's saying
Sounded like a log truck
Duck didn't say nuthin'.
All of a sudden, Captain Jerry Clower was comin' in on the inter-com
Telling us to get ready for takeoff

Head couples square thru 4 hands around you go
Around the corner lady, dosado one time you know
Swing thru, the boys trade, turn thru and then
Allemande left that corner, hey weave that old ring
Southern Air, Southern Air
You swing the lady around and around and promenade that square
Southern Air, Southern Air
Flying high over Dixie, country comfort in the air

Sides face, grand sweep
Yeah, ya all, there I was
Must have been 500 feet over them pine trees
Duck had done fainted on takeoff
Had his little head laying on my arm there
His little tongue just all hangin' out
Then I heard this sharp ringing in my ears..."Howdy!"
Why, it was Miss Pearl, handing out Nehi's, moon pies and bowls of butter beans
Often wondered what she did on her off times
She instructed us the no-chewing sign had been turned off
And she would be our steward-us for the duration of the flight
Duck didn't really seem to care, he was still out of it.

Sides face, grand sweep
Yeah, ya all, there I was
That Miss Pearl was giving me more attention she did that first class passenger
Kept showing me all the new safety tips, playing with my seat belt
Got me so nervous dropped my last piece of pecan pie right on that duck's head
That little fellow came to, jumped up a quackin' and a squawkin'
Didn't know where he was, started runnin' up and down the aisles
Tripped over the ice cream freezer, stepped in the sweet potato pie
Flew out the screen door and was gone! Nothing but feathers.
Then I heard Captain Clower again coming in on the inter-com
Telling us he could see Yazoo City from here
But there would be a short delay in landing
'Till they could get the town windows cleaned.
Seemed some crazy duck had come screaming through there
And left the awfulest mess they ever did see.
Well, that's their lines.

Well, I never!
