[Verse 1]
Pack your bag for thirty thousand feet
Canvas shoes won't help you beat the heat
When metal turns to furnace, plastic melts to skin
Closed-toe flats will get you out, that's where safety wins
Sneakers, loafers, boots that grip the floor
Sandals left behind your bedroom door
[Chorus]
Cotton wool, cover all
Flat shoes when the sirens call
Sleeves down, pants down to your ankles
No synthetics when the cabin dangles
Cotton wool, cover all
That's the rule that saves us all
[Verse 2]
Polyester turns to liquid flame
Nylon burns and leaves a lasting stain
Your jeans and cotton tee become a second skin
While rayon melts and seeps where burns begin
Natural fibers shield you from the scorch
Man-made fabric turns into a torch
[Chorus]
Cotton wool, cover all
Flat shoes when the sirens call
Sleeves down, pants down to your ankles
No synthetics when the cabin dangles
Cotton wool, cover all
That's the rule that saves us all
[Bridge]
Heels will snap on metal slides
Flip-flops slip where danger hides
Bare arms cook in cabin fire
Long sleeves take you up much higher
[Verse 3]
Denim, cotton, wool, and linen too
These are fabrics that will see you through
Roll your sleeves down, button up tight
Cover every inch from heel to sight
When evacuation slides deploy
Smart clothing choices you'll enjoy
[Chorus]
Cotton wool, cover all
Flat shoes when the sirens call
Sleeves down, pants down to your ankles
No synthetics when the cabin dangles
Cotton wool, cover all
That's the rule that saves us all
[Outro]
Natural threads and grounded feet
Make your airplane safety complete
