She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tie
Always on the ball, she's always on strike
Struttin' up the aisle, big deal, you get to fly
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
        
Paid my fare, don't want to complain
You get to me, you're always outta champagne
Treat me like a bum, don't wear no tie
'Cause you ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky, oh hoh
                 
And the sign says, "Thank you very much for not smoking"
My own sign says, "I'm sorry, I'm smokin'"
Don't treat me special or don't kiss my ass
Treat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineer
Garbage man, a janitor and you my dear
A real union flight attendant, my oh my
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky      
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky
You ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

Oh oh, ba ba, oh oh, ba ba, oh oh, ba, ba, oh oh
