First Class - David Roth

I packed my bag this morning, I squeeze that girl goodbye

Went out to the airport, a real good day to fly

I check in at the counter, oh lucky, lucky day

Mr. Roth, she said, I’ve got you sittin in 1A

I’m going First Class, goin First Class today

I’m sittin in the front, I got the ticket in my hand

I’m goin' First Class, baby, hope you understand

I thought for just a minute, this must be some mistake

But when she came round with that wine, my will began to break

He offered me a menu, I thought I would examine

I passed on the filet mignon and settled for the salmon, it was

First Class, first class all the way

I got salt and pepper shakers, I am drinkin from a glass

They got my sweatshirt on a hanger, I am sittin in first class

Well it don’t mean I don’t love ya when you’re sittin back in coach

I won’t think lesser of ya when I’m makin my approach

Oh, my landing gear is greasy and your runway’s outsasight

Gimme some clearance from your tower, babe

I’m touchin down tonight

I got a little buzz on, I’m reading on the tray

The Seven Laws of Money, sure I’ll have more chardonnay

They got flowers in the bathroom, the toilet seat is wood

Walk right in and sit right down, I tell you life is good

When you’re in First Class, first Class all the way

I’ll have a double tall expresso and I think I’ll take it black

And while you’re up, another round for everyone in back

Would you tell that screamin baby that I’m tryin to take a nap

I am a fool for living largely, whaddya think of that

Today’s the 25th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s first step on the moon

Twenty five years from now I’ll sing my kids this little tune

I’ll tell 'em how they treat you when you’re sittin' in 1A

And how no matter where you sit in life

You should be treated the same way

I’m talkin 'bout First Class

First Class all the way every day

Now I’m doin unto others just the way they do to me

Just a little extra lovin and some common courtesy

Every woman, man and child, oh I tell you it’s a gas

When you plunk your little bottom down

Right up there in First Class
