Little swallow in the sky
I want to entice you with a bargain
I will give you all my sweets
A comic book, a clock that sings
If you will let me have your lovely wings
Silver aeroplane above the clouds
I will shoot you down
with gun and bow and arrow
So come down to our front lawn
Right away with all your things
And let me take away your mighty wings

He wants to be in love
He wants to be a butterfly
And he is flying high
like the birds into the sky
He wants to be in love, he wants to fly
He wants to be in love, he wants to fly

Lovely angel in my dream
I saw you in the sky today
You're rejoicing amidst the harps
And all the bells and all the rings
If I am good tomorrow
Will you let me have your wings

He wants to be in love
He wants to be a butterfly
And he is flying high
like the birds into the sky
He wants to be in love, he wants to fly
He wants to be in love, he wants to fly
