In the 1970s, a legend was born A man named Ed Collis, with a heart of gold He worked at the airport, on the ramp with pride But on this fateful day, his shift, he denied
He left ten minutes early, and walked off the job Closing down the airport, causing quite a slog But his colleagues didn’t mind, they had a ball Partying all day, then at the TIC lounge, they crawled
But Air Shmengy took notice, and launched a witch hunt Letters on their file, and Ed was out But his friends fought for him, and in the end It was back to normal, and all was mended
Brian Lindsay, John Brodeur, Al Cook and Reg McClain All part of the crew, causing a bit of strain But in the end, the Legend of Ed Collis remains A story of friendship, fun, and a bit of pains
Walking off the job, closing down the airport It’s a day we’ll always remember, back in the 1970s A time of friendship, laughter, and a little bit of strife The Legend of Ed Collis, a tale for all time.
