38 Planes

[BEVERLEY, spoken]
On final approach
We're coming in runway two-two
And I think "Where am I gonna park this thing?"
There are planes lined up like sardines
And as far as I can see, there's cars lined up too
It looks like everybody in Newfoundland is here

[COMPANY, sung]
One plane then another
And then another
And then another

[JANICE, spoken & (COMPANY, sung)]
Is this on? Sorry, I'm new. This is Rogers TV, Channel 9
My name's Janice Mosher
And I'm reporting live from Gander Airport
Where the nineteenth plane has just touched down
I'm here with...
(And then thirteen planes then another
And then another
And then another
And then another
And then nineteen planes then another
And then another)

[BONNIE, spoken & (COMPANY, sung)]
...Bonnie Harris. On a normal day, we get a half dozen flights
Now we already got three times that many landing
In two hours
It's a lot of noise
You can smell the fuel, you can smell the exhaust
(And then another
And then twenty-six planes then another
And then another
And then another
And then twenty-nine, twenty-nine planes)

[OZ, spoken & (COMPANY, sung)]
Jaysus, that's a jumbo
There's gotta be two-fifty or three-hundred on her
That's a fairly large one
There's gotta be two-hundred on her
And now I'm adding this up
We got thirty-eight planes
We've got two, three-hundred people on the average...
...holy shit!
(And then another
And then another
And then thirty-two, thirty-two planes
And then another
And then another
And then thirty-eight, thirty-eight
Thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-eight planes)
