Note: Lyrics written as sung in (DS9: "His Way"), not necessarily as sung by Sinatra.

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's take off to Peru
In llama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

[Chorus]
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear, angels cheer – because were together

Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon – they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

[Chorus]

Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon – they say

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Come fly with me; pack up, let's fly away
