They sent for me to come down to Washington in an airplane ... Sure enough,
no sooner I got on the plane they strapped me down. The stewardess come by.
I say, "Honey, my ears is all stopped up." Ohh, I was so sick!
She say, "Here's some chewing gum." I chewed that. That ain't unstopped
'em. I said, "Do something for me, honey, I'm dyin'." She said, "Drop your
jaws." And I misunderstood her. They grounded me in Baltimore!
