Albums by Frank Sinatra and the Red Norvo Quintet include Frank Sinatra with the Red Norvo Quintet: Live In Australia, 1959. The tapes for this live album were recorded during two stops on Sinatra's brief Australian tour of 1959. It is considered one of the wildest performances he has ever recorded, as he exhibits great freedom in his lyric choice, often switching and twisting entire phrases. Just as Sinatra begins the "I've Got You Under My Skin", for example, a woman in the audience screams. He responds between lyrics with "Get your hands off that broad!" Blue Note released the recordings in 1997.

Come Fly With Me
Frank Sinatra with the Red Norvo Quintet 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, let's fly, let's 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
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 near
You may hear
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
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 near
You may hear
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly
Pack up let's fly away
