Come Fly With Me
Anna Ternheim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly away
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Back to Acapulco Bay
Come fly with me, let's fly away
