• Richel's favorite lyric: 'Met dat kraaknette pakje aan'

Stewardesjes, hoog in de lucht
Op een vliegtuig in volle vlucht [1]
Op naar zomerse stranden
Dat is waar ik van droom!
Zie je mij in het gangpad staan?
Met dat kraaknette pakje aan!
Op naar zuiderse landen
Dat is waar ik van droom!

[CHORUS]
Want op het strand van
Rio De Janeiro
Wat er gebeurde toen
Ik kon er niets doen 
M'n hartje ging van boem
Ja, op het strand van Rio De Janeiro
Je gaf me plots een zoen [2]
Mijn hartje ging van boem
Ik kon niets meer doen!

Passagier nummer zeventien
kan daarbuiten de zee al zien
En knijpt zacht in m'n handen! [3]
Zomer, ik kom eraan!
M'n mini-koffertje achterin
Met de nieuwste bikini in
Gordels vast, we gaan landen!
Zomer, ik kom er aan!

[CHORUS]

Je neemt me mee [4]
We zweven boven de wolken
Met ministers en tolken
De liefde maakt ons gewichtsloos
met z'n twee
Hee meisje, wees niet verlegen
Als jij ons voorbij ziet zweven
Zweef dan maar met ons mee!

Wangt ooit studeer jij
voor stewardess
En dan leer je vast in de les
In Rio De Janeiro
Is het elke dag feest!

[CHORUS]

Richel's review

K3 sings about life as a steward, acquiring a love in Rio de Janeiro, and being in love.

If you listen to the lyrics closely, this may be considered a very weird song. The first verse starts about life as a steward. The chorus follows with being seduced by a lover. The second verse describes the timespan before arrival in which a passenger is held by the hand [3]. The third verse describes being in love, where the line between fiction and fantasy is thin. The last verse describes studying to be an airplane steward.

My main question is: how many men is she dating with? Here a list:

• Passenger seventeen [3], as she is holding his hand. For an airplane steward, I'd think this may be unprofessional
• An unnamed guy at the beach [2] that suddenly kissed her
• The pilot [4], as he is taking her above the clouds

My first association with this song is with the earlier written song K3 Airlines. But K3 Airlines is about having a plane and flying it around the world and is one of the many 'join us on our party' song, with straighforward lyrics.

I think planes are always in full flight [1], as a half-speed flight will cause the plane to crash, due to the accumulation of lift depends on velocity.

This is of the rare K3 songs with copper in the instrumentation, performed by 'De Jay Horns'. I think they do a good job, but I find it hard to really connect to it.
