Lyrics

  1. Oh, say! let us fly, dear, where, kid? to the sky, dear
    Oh, you flying machine! jump in Miss Josephine, Ship Ahoy!
    Oh, joy! what a feeling, where, boy? in the ceiling
    Ho, high, hoopla! we fly to the sky so high

Chorus
Come Josephine, in my flying machine
Going up, she goes! up she goes!
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
In the air she goes, there she goes!
Up, up, a little bit higher
Oh, my! the moon is on fire
Come, Josephine in my flying machine
Going up, all on, “Goodbye!”

  1. One, two, now we’re off, dear, say you, pretty soft, dear
    Whoa! dear, don’t hit the moon, no, dear, not yet but soon
    You for me, oh, gee! you’re a fly kid, not me, I’m a sky kid
    Gee! I’m up in the air about you for fair
