Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines LYRICS

Those magnificent men
in their flying machines,
They go up diddley up-up,
they go down diddley down-down!

They entrance all the ladies
and steal all the scenes,
With their up diddley up-up
and their down diddley down-down.

Up! down! Flying around!
Looping the loop
and defying the ground!

They're all frightfully keen.
Those Magnificent men
in their flying machines!

They can fly upside down
with their feet in the air!
They don't think of danger;
they really don't care!

Newton would think he
had made a mistake!
To see those young men
and the chances they take!

Those magnificent men
in their flying machines,
They go up diddley up-up,
they go down diddley down-down!

They entrance all the ladies
and steal all the scenes,
With their up diddley up-up
and their down diddley down-down.

Up! down! Flying around!
Looping the loop
and defying the ground!

They're all frightfully keen.
Those Magnificent men
in their flying machines!

Those magnificent men
in their flying machines,
They go up diddley up-up,
they go down diddley down-down!

Those magnificent men...
those magnificent men
Those magnificent men
in their flyyyyyyying machines.

[667GirlEmo]

When i hear this I some how think of Looney Tunes for some weird reason. Plus love this version & Cabin Pressures version!

[DaenaV]

There is a chipmunk version of this song... which is just as wonderful!

[lovelyspringweather]

@googlemeister94 me too.

[montydendron1]

Brilliant orchestration.

[hamelyn06]

I sang this to both of these songs to my boys as babies and they LOVED IT. Hmm they'd probably slap me if I sang it to them now although LOL

[pocketwatchgirl]

It is actually physically impossible to listen to this without being happy.

[sexiestdrummer]

Craig Ferguson sang this .2 seconds ago and I immediately had to find this song.

I love this song and this movie. Great old-fashioned English dance-hall tune-- innocent and fun. The film has the most beautiful art direction and design in every aspect-- from the planes themselves to the cars, costumeds, archetecture, even the ladies' hair-do's and men's mustaches have that quaint rococco curvature with narrow forms swelling into wide curves that is redolent of late-19th-early 20th century pre WWI taste and European culture. A mid-'60s gem!
