Had to catch a plane for Nashville
But was running oh so late
Checked my luggage at the curb
And prayed the plane would wait
I passed some Hari Krishnas
Racing toward gate three
The pilot turned the engines on
And I yelled, 'Wait for me!'

The flight was overbooked and there
Was someone in my seat
So they put me up in First Class
Where they get real food to eat
I buckled up, we took off
Things turned out after all
'Til the pilot said,
'Welcome to our flight to Omaha!'

First class ' wrong flight
What a situation
First class 'wrong flight
Should've checked the destination

I sat there twenty minutes
Just deciding what to do
Guess I could take up skydiving
Or hijack all the crew
I thought why should I sweat it'
I'll eat my steak and smile
It's not important where I go
I'm going there in style

First class ' wrong flight
What a situation
First class 'wrong flight
Should've checked the destination

Style and comfort may be grand
But it's important where you land
Make sure the way you chose is right

I won't be eating peanuts
Or hearing some kid cry
I'll have a lot more leg room
It's the only way to fly
I'll get the royal treatment
Those in coach will envy me
But when we touch down
They'll all be where they want to be!

First class ' wrong flight
What a situation
First class 'wrong flight
Should've checked the destination
