Attendants

Have you ever been a-flyin' Up in the sky so blue? If you have you seen the people Who provide their service for you. Flying for them is a profession One of assistance, service, and care. I often times have mumbled At some of the things they hear. Have you ever been a-flyin' In a plane with silver wing? If so you have met the people Whose "attendance" is their thing. I have seen them courteous and collected Even in spite of a boor. Somehow you know they are thankful When the last one is out the door. Have you ever been a-flyin' Up above in a crowded plane? Have you ever wondered How those people do not go insane? Life for them is walking Thousands of miles each day. With every step they take on that plane They try to help in every way. Have you ever been a-flyin' Up high...well over a country mile? Then you must have seen the people Whose job it is to smile. Courtesy is the watchword of their profession No time to give way to personal vents. So when you get on an airplane Be thankful for the "Flight Attendants".
