Floating Along

[verse 1]
I like a new sensation,
New things I like to try;
I'd like an invitation,
To go a sailing through the sky.
Who's got an idle air-ship?
Who'll take me on the wing,
Up into cloud-land?
While I sing:

[refrain]
As we're floating along, dear,
In the heavenly blue,
A loving shipmate I will be, love, to you;
Tho' the clouds come to hide us,
We can never go wrong
With live to guide us,
As we're floating along.
As we're floating along.

[verse 2]
Up where the moon is shining,
Far from the mad'ning crowd;
Wrapp'd in it's silv'ry lining,
Nightly we'll spoon* behind some cloud.
Over the world together,
We'll skim the milky way
Up in an air-ship
While I say:

[repeat refrain]

*to kiss and cuddle
