Lyrics
1. I bought an auto for my best girl
Now for an airship her head’s a-whirl
She wants to float about up in the air
Don’t know how I’ll come out, I’m in despair
She says flying is all the go
No use denying, she ought to know
That I’m afraid I’ll fall I won’t deny
But if she says so I’ll fly
Refrain:
I’ll fly in an airship with my best girl someday
No matter how afraid I am, I’ll bluff at it anyway
She says “A flying lady I want to be
And you, a bird man, must go with me”
Goodbye, I am going to fly
With my lady love in the sky
2. Now for a biplane, U. S. machine
A trip to Europe, that is her dream
Sweetest of honeymoons that can be found
Shared with her finity sailing around
But my dear love, she does not know
How hard it will be for me to go
I feel more joyful here ‘tween you and I
But if she says so, I’ll fly
