The Lyrics

Everyone remembers "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" from 1987 with John Candy as annoying shower curtain ring salesman Del Griffith partnered with business representative Neal Page played by Steve Martin. A modern classic comedy!
He was a plague on you
along the line

Del Griffith, salesman, could be rude
Cab was stealin’
Smut book was readin’*

Neal Page couldn’t stand him
This “shower ring” clown
But Del came in handy
Transportation got him around

[Train stopped, car burned, watch sold for bed-down]

He was a plague on you
All along the line
Pressed for time

Missed his flight
Endless fights
Missed his wife
Del Griffith in the way
But Del did care
‘Bout Neal’s urgency
Got him home some way

[Del had made a way]

Was lonely
He was a plague on you
All along the line
(But Neal shared with him the holiday)
* The Canadian Mounted

Thanks for all the silent support!!! I guess I need to do more movie and tv tie-in parodies! Would love to do "Sixteen Candles" and "Breakfast Club" and even "Back to the Future (1.21 Gigawatts and all)!!! I have a parody tomorrow based on one of Sir Alec Guinness' movies. Hope you guys like it :)
