  • (The cowboy is here)

    Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
    If you can use some exotic booze
    There's a bar in far Bombay
    Come on, fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away

    Come fly with me, we'll 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, we'll 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're gonna hear
    A gang of angels cheer because we're together

    Weather wise, it's such a lovely day
    Just say the word, we'll beat those birds
    Down to Acapulco Bay
    It is perfect for a flying honeymoon (I'm tired, god damnit, I'm tired)
    Fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away, we'll fly away (we'll fly)

    Once I get you up there
    Where the air is rarefied
    We're gonna glide
    Absolutely petrified
    Once I get you up there
    I'll be holding you so very near
    You might even hear
    A mess of angels cheer just because we're together

    Weather-wise, it's such a groovy day
    You just say the word and I'll whip 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 Writer/s: Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn
