Lyrics
- Pretty little witty little Mary Snow
Went with her steady beau, to see an “Aeroshow”
And when she saw a pippin dippin’ to and fro
She sighed like girls will do
Said she to him “I’m getting tired of motor cars
They give you awful jars, I want to visit Mars
So let’s imagine now that we’re among the stars
In an aero built for two”
Chorus
Let us fly! Let us fly!
Let us fly a little, try a little loving on the sly
We can see! We can see!
Lots of couples busy spooning while ballooning in the sky
Here we go, up we go, let us get busy
Oh! Honey dear, ain’t it queer
Don’t you feel dizzy? Go slow? Oh, No!
Keep in time with the huggin’ to the engine chuggin’ chuggin’
Don’t you stop! Don’t you stop!
You better love me all you can
Go up a little higher, up a little higher
My little lovin’ Aero man
- Pretty little witty little Mary’s beau,
He went and got the dough and bought a Bleriot
And after that to show her that he wasn’t slow
He bought a parachute
Said he “I got it Mary dear in case we fall
You won’t get hurt at all, So don’t you dare to stall”
Said she “I will be ready ev’ry night you call
And around the moon we’ll scoot”
