Come Fly With Me
The Billy May & His Orchestra 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
"Come Fly With Me" is a playful and upbeat song with a romantic theme that invites the listener to explore the world and enjoy its pleasures. The song presents flying as a magical experience of freedom, adventure, and love, and the lyrics create vivid images of exotic places where the characters in the song can go and have fun. The opening line “Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away” sets the tone for the song and invites the listener to join in on the adventure.
The lyrics are arranged in verses that describe different destinations, such as Bombay and Peru, where the characters can indulge in exotic drinks, listen to music, and admire the scenic beauty. The lyrics also create a sense of intimacy and romance as the singer promises to hold the listener “so near,” and they can hear angels cheer because they are together. The chorus repeats the invitation to fly together and reinforces the idea that life is a journey, and we should seek out new experiences and share them with someone special.
