38 Planes lyrics

[Beverly (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]

One plane, then another,

and then another,

and then another.

And then thirteen planes,

then another,

and then another,

and then another.

And then another,

and then another,

and then nineteen planes,

then another,

and then another.

[Janice (spoken) - overlapping]

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

[Bonnie (spoken) - overlapping]

Bonnie Harris.

On a normal day, we get half a dozen flights.

Now we already got three times

that many landing in two hours.

[Company]

And then another.

And then twenty-six planes,

then another,

and then another,

and then another.

[Bonnie (spoken) - overlapping]

It's a lot of noise.

You can smell the fuel,

you can smell the exhaust.

[Company]

And then twenty-nine,

twenty-nine planes,

and then another,

and then another.

And then thirty-two,

thirty-two planes,

and then another,

and then another.

[Oz (spoken) - overlapping]

Jesus, 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've got thirty-eight planes.

We've got two, three hundred

people on the average.

[Company]

And then thirty-eight,

thirty-eight, thirty-eight,

thirty-eight, thirty-eight,

thirty-eight planes.

[Oz (spoken)]

Holy shit!
