McCain: Week-end Warrior
Being sung to John McCain to Duke Ellington's
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"
(Missed the Saturday dance. Heard they crowded the floor.)

Verse
Instead of horror movie fare
With which I frighten myself,
I picture flight deck crews you scare
With ev'ry man for himself.

Chorus
Loved each Saturday crash
Till they fished you ashore.
Week-end flight time for flight pay –
John, those are planes we're paying for.

Heard you'd been to the club
Till they showed you the door.
You insisted on flying –
John, those are planes we're paying for.

Sadly, I guess,
When you started, each cost
A few thou or less –
Now each means millions lost!

Give taxpayers a break
Now the web's keeping score –
Week-end crashes for flight pay?
We can't afford you anymore.
