You Better spool up,
You better slow down,
You better stay sharp,
When heading inbound
CI Christmas shopper’s in town.

We’ve got Jersey waiting,
Guernsey’s busy too,
Alderney’s crosswinds
Are ready for you
CI Christmas shopper’s in town.

You’ll taxi around the traffic,
You’ll hold short in the queue,
You’ll call for your departure,
And hope ATC breaks through.

So file your flight plan,
Come join in the cheer
The channel isles are buzzing,
Like they do each year
CI Christmas shopper’s in town.
