Up In My Flying Machine 1910

Not long ago
a new bright red auto
was the height
of a man's desires
with a chauffeur smart
and a gas go cart
and a couple of extra tyres.
On the road he'd plug
with a gay chug chug
and the smell of gasoline,
with his heart's delight
and her hat tied tight
in the Tonneau like a Queen.
But the end of this we've seen.

It's up, up in my flying machine,
my flying machine
my flying machine,
The clouds we will leave far below
on the trails of air we go.
No stop on that pike
for a cop on the bike
we will know of no speed limit then
It's on the highway
of the skyway
in my new model nineteenten.

It's up, up in my flying machine,
my flying machine
my flying machine,
The clouds we will leave far below
on the trails of air we go.
No stop on that pike
for a cop on the bike
we will know of no speed limit then
It's on the highway
of the skyway
in my new model nineteenten.

Eaglets may nest
and the swift falcons rest
but we'll soar 'way so far above,
we will fly as one
right up to the sun
she's the only girl I love.
On the true highway
of the blue sky way
where the winds blow
wild and free.
I will crown her there
as The Queen of air
of the Sun the bride she'll be,
when she flies away with me.

It's up, up in my flying machine,
my flying machine
my flying machine,
The clouds we will leave far below
on the trails of air we go.
No stop on that pike
for a cop on the bike
we will know of no speed limit then
It's on the highway
of the skyway
in my new model nineteenten.

It's up, up in my flying machine,
my flying machine
my flying machine,
The clouds we will leave far below
on the trails of air we go.
No stop on that pike
for a cop on the bike
we will know of no speed limit then
It's on the highway
of the skyway
in my new model nineteenten.
