The girls will soon be flying us around,
With half the pilots of the fairer sex.
If they can get their planes up off the ground,
The girls will soon be flying us around.
Sex quotas work, so near the speed of sound,
Their passengers will gladly risk their necks.
The girls will soon be flying us around,
With half the pilots of the fairer sex.

— D.N. O’Brien
