Security Joan - Donald Fagen

Well I guess I needed a miracle

If I was gonna make my flight

I had to get to gate C13

And it was still way out of sight

Something in my carry on bag

Tipped off the x-ray machine

'Cause then an angel straight from heaven

Asked me to 'step behind that screen'

And when I felt the wand sweep over me You know I never felt so clean

Well you won’t find my name on your list

Honey you know I ain’t no terrorist

Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone

You know I love you,

Security Joan

I hung out at the Starbucks

'til just around boarding time

Then I strolled on back to the checkpoint

Just one thing on my mind

She flashed that crooked smile and said

'Well I believe you missed your flight'.

I said 'There's been a minor change of plan,

And I’ll be stayin’for one more night'.

I could tell from the way she looked at me Everything was gonna be all right

Search me now!
