Mr. airline agent won't you understand I'm a frequent traveler and a patient man But I've been mistreated a time or two I've stood about all I'm gonna stand from you I got my ticket in my hand just like everybody else I paid my money in advance so I could use a little help You're making such a fuss You're holding up the line Just get me on the plane everything will be fine (chorus) I gotta go You gotta get me to the show Quit looking at my hair Just get me in the air I got a '52 tele hanging off my back It fits really easy in the overhead rack If I was a guy in a suit with a kitchen sink You'd a' let me right on You wouldn't even a' blinked
But a guitar you say I gotta check it at the gate Well that isn't gonna happen get your hand off the case Get your hand off the case unless you wanta lose the arm Get outa my face you won't come to any harm (chorus) Mr. airline agent is there something I missed I've never seen anything quite like this I'm a frequent traveler and I've been around I've been roughed up and I've been shook down I guess your supervisor knows about your nasty attitude Giving me a ha**le just for something to do To make you fee like a man Well I've had about enough And I'm going to go postal if you don't straighten up (chorus)
