I Didn't Know

{transcribed by Adri Verhoef, 10-03-2022}

I flew a Boeing on row 3B and for an hour I waited for my whiskey sour
Patiently I said 'Stewardess, excuse me but you forgot me I bet'
She looked at me in a funny way and then I heard her scarcely say
Oh, oh, oh, good lord, I didn't know
She said 'Oh, oh, oh, good lord, I didn't know'

The next few hours we flew away and approached into Bangkok on a Sunday
Afternoon with thirty degrees and I begged for a beer, straight from the freeze
I must have waited a long long time until finally she read my mind saying
Oh, oh, oh, good lord, I didn't know
She said 'Oh, oh, oh, good lord, I didn't know'

Take the comfortable way to fly
At thirty-three thousand feet in the sky
We should all have a try
Then you know

Well, the next time on the Tokyo flight I asked the hostess if it would be right
To fall in love with a flying girl, though she said and she shook her head
It's not a matter of virginity, it's a feelin' of responsibility
I said 'Oh, oh, oh, good girl, I didn't know'
I said 'Oh, oh, oh, good girl, I didn't know'
I said 'Oh, oh, oh, good girl, I didn't know'
