I took two weeks vacation for the honeymoon A couple tickets all inclusive down in Cancun I couldn't get my money back so I'm in seat 7A I'm getting drunk on a plane I bet the fella on the aisle thought I was crazy 'Cause I taped your picture to the seatback right beside me Now I've got empty mini bottles fillin' both our trays I'm getting drunk on a plane Buyin' drinks for everybody But the pilot, it's a party Got this 737 rocking like a G6 Stewardess is somethin' sexy Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey Told her about my condition Got a little mile-high flight attention It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds I'm up so high, I may never come down I'll try anything to drown out the pain They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane We had this date marked on the calendar forever We'd take that new wed limo airport ride together I feel like a plastic groom alone there at the top of the cake So hey, I'm getting drunk on a plane Buyin' drinks for everybody But the pilot, it's a party Got this 737 rocking like a G6 Stewardess is somethin' sexy Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey Told her about my condition Got a little mile-high flight attention It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds I'm up so high, I may never come down I'll try anything to drown out the pain They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane On my way home I'll bump this seat right up to first class So I can drink that cheap champagne out of a real glass And when we land I'll call her up and tell her kiss my ass 'Cause hey, I'm drunk on a plane Buyin' drinks for everybody But the pilot, it's a party Got this 737 rocking like a G6 Stewardess is somethin' sexy Leanin' pourin' Coke and whiskey Told her about my condition Got a little mile-high flight attention It's Mardi Gras up in the clouds I'm up so high, I may never come down I'll try anything to drown out the pain They all know why I'm getting drunk on a plane I'm getting drunk on a plane I might be passed out In the baggage claim But right now I'm drunk on a plane
