Come Josephine In My Flying Machine

Early 20th century (1910) popular piece, inspired by the then-recent invention of the Airplane, played on the panpipes with aerial pictures accompanying.


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
Feels cold, thru the ceiling. Ho, high!
Hoopla, we fly! To the sky so high

(Refrain)
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 Refrain)

One, two, now we're off, dear.
Oh, you, pretty soft, dear.
Whoa! Say! Don't hit the moon.
Oh, no, 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 for fair

Actually this song was from from an album in 1910. The album was released in 1911.

Ooops; you are right! I learned this song from one of those 'fake' books where it was listed in the "Gay 90's favorites' section. Bad! Bad fake book! >:-(

(Yes, it's a rather old fake book!)

Can somebody tell me about another song, I think the title is the same: "My flying machine" but what is the artist/groups name? The text goes like: I can race with the birds, I can fight with the wind, I go up in the air, in my flying machine, I go up, I go down and around, around...

You are probably thinking of the song by Cliff Richards.
