Come fly with me, let's fly,
let's fly away
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
Come fly with me, let's take off
in the blue
Once I get you up there where
the air is rarified
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 away

Come fly with me, let's fly,
let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!
