Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly awayIf you can use some exotic boozeThere’s a bar in far BombayCome fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly awayCome fly with me, let’s float down to PeruIn llama-land there’s a one-man bandAnd he’ll toot his flute for youCome fly with me, let’s take off in the blueOnce I get you up thereWhere the air is rarefiedWe’ll just glideStarry-eyedOnce I get you up thereI’ll be holding you so nearYou may hearAngels cheer, ’cause we’re togetherWeather-wise, it’s such a lovely dayJust say the words and we’ll beat the birdsDown to Acapulco BayIt’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they sayCome fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly awayOnce I get you up thereWhere the air is rarefiedWe’ll just glideStarry-eyedOnce I get you up thereI’ll be holding you so nearYou may hearAngels cheer, ’cause we’re togetherWeather-wise, it’s such a lovely dayYou just say the words and we’ll beat the birdsDown to Acapulco BayIt’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they sayCome fly with me, let’s fly, let’s flyPack up, let’s fly away
