When the curtains comes up, people are running here and fro, rushing to get onto their plane.

Chorus

Traffic, traffic,

All over there's traffic

Couldn't wait to board

On the plane

We're on the state of panic

Panic, manic,

All the time panicking,

Hope we get in time

As we afford to get on time

To board on the metal membrane

Of a plane

Away we go!

Somewhere far-off

Away from responsibilities

No boring activities

Just fun

Out on the run

Burnt by the sun

Don't matter, when you're away

So excited, on vacation

On a holiday, no frustration

Except to board on this plane

Look at all those security officers

Passing through their scanners

All their perch pat downs

Oh God, TSA!

What a drag!

What an hour delay

MELISSA MORRISON and JOHN STEINBECK, a couple in their early twenties, enter. Like the rest of the passengers, they're in a hurry to get into their plane.

MELISSA

Have I forgotten something?

How I hate to have something

Forgotten

One luggage, one carry on,

And a purse

Have I forgotten something?

I hope I hadn't

Cause I swear, I'd be extremely piss

John

Don't worry baby

As long as it's not our tickets and itinerary

As long as you have your luggage

We're fine. Don't stress out

Think of all the fun you'll have

With all the fun you saved

For this trip, a minor inconvenience

Won't be that hard.

Well try to fix it, no matter how hard it is

They join the chorus.

Chorus

Away we go!

Somewhere far-off

Away from responsibilities

No boring activities

Just fun

Out on the run

Burnt by he sun

Because we can

Don't matter, you're away

So excited to be on vacation

On a holiday, hope we get in time

To board on this plane

They all get on the plane.
