That is interesting Hoss. Did you listen to the Bloom version? He definitely says B.O.A.C.

and B.O.A.C. makes sense because Jamaica is part of "British West Indies" (it would be a major carrier)
....and in the same stanza he mentions "adjust to the driving" & "it's all on the 'right side'.
____


Hmmmm, shouldn't he have said "it's all on the left side"?

then again, there would be no need to "adjust" if he was flying in from the U.K (hmmm...maybe he was flying in from Miami)

I just confused myself. (not a hard thing to do)

Help!
