Christmas Spent on Bravo Once Again

Christmas Spent on Bravo Once Again ©
by C.W. Behrens

Sung to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"

The phone rings,
blood pressure rises,
wondering what,
my demise is,

I knew since the Fall,
That I'd be on call,
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.

I don't want,
to go flyin',
an earblock?
That'd be lyin',

So on Christmas night,
I'll do a preflight,
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.

Christmas morning comes I call command post,
nobody is answering the phone,
everybody's home enjoying Christmas
Except the Bravo crew that's getting boned.

CNN
isn't trolling
Clinton's cars
aren't rolling
So what would we gain,
by taxiing again?
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.

TACC
says we're alertin',
and my kids'
hearts are hurtin'
we gotta go fly,
kiss my wife goodbye
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.

On the ramp there's no crew chiefs a'workin',
and the plane's reported FMC,
We just broke,
so now we've gotta tailswap,
to yesterday's local that's still Alpha three.

So we're bummed,
that we're goin',
and it just
started snowin',
our holiday's done,
we're NOT havin' fun,
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.
Christmas spent on Bravo once again.
