Come Fly With Me
Gus Arnheim & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say the situation is very bad
Something is happening to make the girlies swoon
Every time they hear this tune
Come with me, my honey
There's a moon aglow
Come with me, my honey
Pretty little bunny
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That's the song of Calypso Joe
The bachelor population will never know
Why he should be such a big Romeo
But when they try to copy him the sound's all wrong
It's the way he sing his song
Come with me, my honey
There's a moon aglow
Come with me, my honey
Come with Calypso Joe
Pretty little bunny
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That's the song of Calypso Joe.

Come with me, my honey

Pretty little bunny
(Pretty little bunny)
I will love you so
Come with me, my honey
My honey bunny
That's the song of Calypso Joe.

....many thanks!

....We all love Crosby, and he was amazing, but when I hear Jimmy Newell's singing, I forget everyone who came before! What a set of pipes -- he could push air better than anyone! Beautiful phrasing and range.

I agree......your play list's are making me buy more records!

Thanks a Million for this sparkling set of hits from Hollywood's best loved orchestra of the stars. Gus Arnhiem! Dancing at the Coconut Grove must have been an exciting event during those years while Arnhiem held sway there! Roughly speaking, from 1929 through 1931. Wonderful sounding set, Prozoot! Love your still of the band! It's a set still from the 1929 talkie, "Street Girl". from Radio Pictures. The arch of horizontal lines behind the band cleverly becomes a human page of sheet music, after the chorus girls pose against it at the tunes end, dressed as music notes! What an age!

Your playlists are perfect for my gym workouts! Because the songs run back to back I don’t have to keep stopping to skip those damned adverts. A fine selection as always
Prozoot
....I will have to charge you extra!! I didn't know one could get buff listening to Gus Arnheim!
Jonathan Holmes
@Prozoot much better than the crap they pump out otherwise! I’m in my own world lifting to these videos haha
Prozoot
@Jonathan Holmes ....lifting to the "oldies" !! Please speak more kindly about "crap" -- today's music doesn't deserve that elevation!
