Lyrics: Come Josephine


Words: Alfred Bryan
Music: Fred Fisher (1910)

Verse 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!"

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:

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 so fair

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!"
