Ballooning 1907 Fascinating Flora

Would you like
to take a little journey
off to a land afar?
Not upon a ship,
or a railroad trip,
neither on a motor car;
quite a diff'rent journey
I'm proposing,
really, it's something new!
Won't be any crowd,
no one else allowed,
not a soul but me and you!

How'd you like to go ballooning,
and spooning, and mooning?
Songs of love up yonder crooning,
with no one 'round to see;
sil'vry stars would all be winking
and blinking, I'm thinking,
and up above we'd just make love,
if you'd only go ballooning with me.

How'd you like to go ballooning,
and spooning, and mooning?
Songs of love up yonder crooning,
with no one 'round to see;
sil'vry stars would all be winking
and blinking, I'm thinking,
and up above we'd just make love,
if you'd only go ballooning with me.

To a cloud our little ship we'd fasten
then we'd idly dream;
watch the cows at play
in the Milky Way;
from the Dipper we'd drink cream;
and when night came floating
like a shadow;
back to the earth we'd spin,
landing on the ground,
just so safe and sound,
none would know where we had been!

How'd you like to go ballooning,
and spooning, and mooning?
Songs of love up yonder crooning,
with no one 'round to see;
sil'vry stars would all be winking
and blinking, I'm thinking,
and up above we'd just make love,
if you'd only go ballooning with me.

How'd you like to go ballooning,
and spooning, and mooning?
Songs of love up yonder crooning,
with no one 'round to see;
sil'vry stars would all be winking
and blinking, I'm thinking,
and up above we'd just make love,
if you'd only go ballooning with me.
