Verse

• Sprinting through the halls
• Of a busy airport yay
• Dodging passers-by
• Sweating all the way
• Bells on my phone ring
• My flight is delayed
• Oh what fun it is to fly
• Over the holidays

Chorus

• Oh, if you can’t fly
• Please don’t cry
• Shake Shack saves the day
• We sympathize, so here’s free fries
• For your darn flight delay, hey!
• If you can’t fly
• Please don’t cry
• Shake Shack saves the day
• We sympathize, so here’s free fries
• We’ll send you on your way
• We’ve got your back, so have a snack
• From Shake Shack... happy holidays!
