There is an instrumental introduction to the song with no lyrics. Then a flight attendant asks if a passenger wants duty-free items.

We're flying the flag, All over the world, Flying the flag, for you.
The singers are saying that they are flying the flag all over the world, and doing it for the audience. They are representing their country on an international stage.

London to Berlin, All the way from Paris to Talin, Heliniski on to Prague, Don't matter where we are!
The singers are stating various European cities and confirming that it does not matter where they are, they are ready to represent their country in the contest.

Yeah yeah yeah
This line is an instrumental interlude and does not add any meaning to the song.

Flyin' high in Amsterdam, Why don't you catch us if you can? (catch us if you can) Now we're cruising in the sky, And we're singing it for you
The singers are stating that they are flying high in Amsterdam and daring anyone to catch them. They also say that they are currently cruising in the sky and singing for the audience.

Another instrumental interlude with a flight attendant asking a passenger if they want salted nuts.

We're flying the flag, All over the world, Flying the flag, for you!
The singers are repeating that they are flying the flag all over the world and doing it for the audience. This repetition reinforces their message and reminds the audience of the song's theme.

Would you like a complementary drink with your meal, sir?
A flight attendant is asking a passenger if they would like a free drink with their meal. This line adds a bit of realism to the song and helps the listener imagine being on a plane.

Ladies and gentlemen, Your exits are here, here and here. To fasten your seatbelt, insert the fitting. To use the lifevest, slip it over your head, pull firmly on the red cord, and blow into the mouthpiece.
The captain or a flight attendant is giving safety instructions, telling passengers where the exits are, how to fasten their seatbelt, and how to use a lifevest in case of an emergency.

Bah bah bah bah bahbah, dah dah dah dah dahdah, Bah bah bah bah bahbah, dah dah dah dah dahdah, (We wish you a very pleasurable journey.), yeah yeah, yeah yeah, Bah bah bah bah bahbah, dah dah dah dah dahdah, Bah bah bah bah bahbah, dah dah dah dah dahdah!

(Would you like something to suck on for landing, sir?)
