Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
If you could use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll 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
Come fly with me, let's float down in the blue
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
Oh the angels cheer, because we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say those words we'll beat the birds
Back to acapulco bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly, we fly
Once I get you up there
Where the air is so rarefied
We're gonna glide, absolutely petrified
Once I get ya up there
I'll be holding you so awful near
You might even hear
A gang of angels cheer, just because we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a groovy day
If you just say that word and I'll beat your bird
Down to acapulco bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they do say
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly
Pack up, let's fly away
