Come Fly With Me
Billy May and his Orchestra & Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on, fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Fly with me, float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so very near
You might even hear
A gang of angels cheer just because we're together
Weather wise, it's such a cool, cool day
Just say those words, we'll whip those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect (perfect) for a flying honeymoon, they do say, hey
Come on, fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Do do do, do do, do do, do do, do do
Once I get you up there
Where the air is so rarefied
We're gonna glide
Absolutely starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so very near
You might even hear
A gang of angels cheer just because we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a groovy day
You just say those words, we'll whip those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they do say
Come on, fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up your bags and let's get out of here (come on let's fly away)
