Lyrics
When dad and mother discovered one another
They dreamed of the day
When they would love and honor and obey
And during all their modest spooning
They’d blush and speak of honeymooning
And if your memory recalls
They spoke of Niag’ra Falls
But today, my darling, today
When you meet the one you love, you say
Chorus
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away
If you could 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 on fly with me, let’s take off 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 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
