Lyrics

We received an invitation in the post one Monday morn'

To attend our cousin's weddin' in the town where we were born

The do was back in Kerry, so wishin' to be frugal

We trawled the 'net to find some decent travel deals on Google

Cheap flights, cheap flights, cheap as they can be

Bedad, we found an airline sellin' flights for 50p

Diddly aiden daidin daidin dai

Well, we clicked on to the website and were mightily surprised

To find the actual cost wasn't quite as advertised

We'd forgotten airport taxes had also to be billed

But a bargain is a bargain and, begorrah, we were thrilled

Cheap flights, cheap flights, Stanstead to Tralee

It isn't every airline offers flights for 50p

Diddly aiden daidin daidin dai

Diddly aiden daidin daidin

Diddly aiden daidin daidin dai

After studying the website, we decided it was best

To pay priority boardin' so that we'd sit three abreast

Three abreast, that's the best

And, of course, we'd all have luggage, so that's an extra cost

And then we paid insurance in case our cases might get lost, ah

Cheap flights, cheap flights, it's obvious to see

There must be extra charges when the flights are 50p

Minya, minya, minya, key change

At last, the flight was booked with all of the additions

We'd read the reams of small print of terms and conditions

And then, by god, they charge for usin' VISA, which was drastic

'Cause how the feck are you supposed to pay if not with feckin' plastic?

Cheap flights, cheap flights, we paid the fecking fee

'Cause by now we were committed to the flights for 50p

Diddly aiden daidin daidin

Diddly aiden daidin daidin

Someone's being diddled and it's us, so it is

Ochone, ochone, aah

Now, I don't know if you've tried locatin' Stanstead on a map

But checking in at 5am is a feckin' load of crap

Youse're banjaxed if you try to catch a train or underground

So a taxi to the arse o' the world is more than a hundred pounds

Cheap flights, cheap flights, we should have gone by sea

There's no such feckin' thing as a feckin' flight for 50p

Feckity feckity feckity feckity feck, feck, feck

Feckity feckity feckity feckity feck, feck, feck

Then, at last, we reached the airport where we had to pay a fine

The feckin' feckers charged us 'cause we hadn't checked in online

And, finally, aboard the flight, there's an extra class of tax

'Cause the feckin' feckin' feckers feckin' charge to use the jacks

Cheap flights, cheap flights, I think you must agree

That only feckin' gobshites think there's flights for 50p

Feck, shite, feck, shite, feck, shite, arse

Feck, shite, shite, feck, feck, shite, arse

Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feck

Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckity Feckty Feck

Feck the shaggin' cheapskate bastards

Feck the shaggin', feck the shaggin', feck the shaggin' bastards

Sad verse

Well, finally, we landed and tried to shuffle up the aisle

But the steward sent us down to the back with never a hint of a smile

And as we heard his announcement, our hearts gave a terrible thump:

"If you haven't prepaid to use the steps, you'll have to feckin' jump"

Cheap flights, cheap flights, oh harken unto me

You're an eejit if you think a feckin' flight is 50p

Feck!
