[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Weather wise, it's such a lovely day 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 [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] Pack up, let's fly away
