Come Josephine in My Flying Machine
Soaring Dreams: Come Josephine's Skyward Tale
Lyrics
Oh! Say! Let us fly, dear
Expressing eagerness to fly
Where, kid? To the sky, dear
Asking where to fly
Oh you flying machine
Referring to the flying machine
Jump in, Miss Josephine
Inviting Miss Josephine to join
Ship ahoy! Oh joy, what a feeling
Excitement about seeing a ship
Where, boy? In the ceiling
Asking where it is, humorously suggesting the ceiling
Ho, High, Hoopla we fly
Expressing joy and enthusiasm
To the sky so high
Describing the journey to the sky
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Inviting Josephine to join in the flying machine
Going up she goes! Up she goes!
Excitement about the ascent
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
Comparing balance to a bird on a beam
In the air she goes! There she goes!
Describing Josephine's ascent in the air
Up, up, a little bit higher
Encouraging to go higher
Oh! My! The moon is on fire
Expressing awe at the moon
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Repeating the invitation to Josephine
Going up, all on, Goodbye!
Saying goodbye as they ascend
One, two, now we're off, dear
Counting down to departure
Say you pretty soft, dear
Asking Josephine to speak softly
Whoa! dear don't hit the moon
Warning not to hit the moon
No, dear, not yet, but soon
Clarifying that hitting the moon is not the plan
You for me, Oh Gee! you're a fly kid
Expressing admiration for Josephine
Not me! I'm a sky kid
Declining to be called a "fly kid," preferring "sky kid"
See I'm up in the air
Confirming being in the air
About you for fair
Expressing affection towards Josephine
Come Josephine in my flying machine,
Reiterating the invitation
Going up she goes! Up she goes!
Excitement about the ascent
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
Repeating the bird and beam analogy
In the air she goes! There she goes!
Describing Josephine's continued flight
Up, up, a little bit higher
Encouraging to go even higher
Oh! My! The moon is on fire
Expressing awe at the moon again
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Reiterating the invitation
Going up, all on, Goodbye!
Saying goodbye as the journey continues
Come Josephine in my flying machine,
Repeating the invitation once more
Going up she goes! Up she goes!
Repeating excitement about ascent
Balance yourself like a bird on a beam
Repeating the bird and beam analogy
In the air she goes! There she goes!
Describing Josephine's ongoing flight
Up, up, a little bit higher
Encouraging to go higher again
Oh! My! The moon is on fire
Expressing awe at the moon once more
Come Josephine in my flying machine
Reiterating the invitation
Going up, all on, Goodbye!
Saying goodbye as the journey continues
