Once upon a time, last week A delightful creature passed my way To win her, we would have to roam Away somewhere and be alone Now won't you fly into the sky It's peaceful there, no passers-by Just say the word and very soon We'll go sailing off in my balloon Don't be afraid you wont fall out I've been up many times before No my dear, you won't be ill. I've even got a skysick pill. Oh I can't wait to take you there Providing that the weather's fair I promise not to go to far While we're sailing up in my balloon You will? You'll come? Ah, splendid stuff! I hope the breezes aren't to rough Oh, just step inside, there's room I hope While I release the mooring rope My dear, you're floating to the sky You seem to be going ever so high I cannot hold this horrid rope! Oh gosh, I don't think there's any hope Really, you're going ever so high, Felicity! I'll never be able to reach you now
