Your rating:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Tobias Willcock welcoming you aboard Coconut Airways flight 372 to Bridgetown, Barbados.
We will be flying at a height of 32.000* feet and at an air speed of approximately 600** miles per hour.
Refreshments will be served after take-off.
Kindly fasten your safety belts and refrain from smoking until the aircraft is airborne.

Oh, I'm going to Barbados
Oh, back to the palm trees
Oh, I'm going to see my girlfriend
Oh, in the sunny Caribbean Sea

I don't want to be a bus driver all my life
I've seen too much of Brixton town in the night
Fly away on Coconut Airways
Fly me high, Barbados sky

I look up to the sky and I see the clouds
I look down at the ground
and I see the rain go down the drain
Fly away on Coconut Airways
Fly me high, Barbados sky

Oh, I'm going to Barbados
Oh, back to the palm trees
Oh, I'm going to see my girlfriend
Oh, in the sunny Caribbean Sea

Far away from London town and the rain
It's really very nice to be home again
Mary Jane met the Coconut airplane
Now I know she loves me so, ooh

Oh, I'm going to Barbados
Oh, back to the palm trees
Oh, I'm going to see my girlfriend
Oh, in the sunny Caribbean Sea

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now commencing our approach to Bridgetown, Barbados.
The weather is fine with a maximum temperature of 90*** degrees Fahrenheit.
The sky is blue and the palm trees are really cool.
Captain Willcock and his crew hope you have had a pleasant flight and that you will fly Coconut Airways again.

Oh, I'm going to Barbados
Oh, back to the palm trees
Oh, I'm going to see my girlfriend
Oh, in the sunny Caribbean Sea

Oh, I'm going to Barbados
Oh, back to the palm trees
Oh, I'm going to see my girlfriend
Oh, in the sunny Caribbean Sea
