Prepare for the extras

Skirmish: Unlikely advertising jing... (@fb2studios)Liner Notes
Fun prompt! I took the notion of advertising one of those (nameless) cheap airlines....
Lyrics
You want the best life has to offer To be treated like royalty Then go somewhere else You’re not welcome here We only offer cheap with extras
You want to sit together? That will cost extra You want to choose your own seat? That will cost extra
We’ll print your boarding pass But guess what, that will cost extra You want a case in the hold? That will cost extra
You want a take-on bag? That will cost extra You want to get to your destination? We’ll get you there, or pretty close
We’ll get your there and we’ll get you down Now what else could you want You think you’re better than us? It was your choice to fly, You think you’re better than us? You could have taken the bus So enjoy, and prepare for the extras

You make that extra so tempting and somewhat cool and desirable...fun skirmish idea!
But that will cost extra! Dig the vibe of this tune!
Incredibly relatable lyrics. Nice work on the instrumental too!
Great response and I like the vibe of the song. Thanks for taking part
haha! that's how it is, prepare for the extras! nice!
This is a brilliant tribute to O'Leary's philosophy! I particularly like this couplet: "You want to get to your destination? We’ll get you there, or pretty close."
Couldn't place the band you were channeling exactly, but it certainly had that late 90s early noughties "indy" feel to it.
