Christmas at the Airport - Nick Lowe, Los Straitjackets

Passengers are reminded to keep personal items and luggage with them at all

times

Any unattended luggage in the terminal building will be removed by security …

and may be destroyed

And bedded down in there

When I woke much later

I was quite alone

Check-in was deserted

Everyone had gone

It looks like Christmas

Christmas at the airport

I took a set of x-rays

They came out rather well

Christmas at the airport this year

I’m doing Santa’s sleighride

Passengers are advised that oversized items such as buggy … wheelchairs …

Are to be found in the

Instrumental interlude

It looks like Christmas

Christmas at the airport

I should be at the table

With all my kith and kin

It looks like Christmas

Christmas at the airport this year

Don’t save me any turkey

I found a burger in a bin
