Woke up in Brooklyn
with a frown upon my face
Just left Wisconsin
where there's cheese enough to start this rat race!
But thanks to the brothers Wright
We don't know where we'll sleep tonight
Yeah I'm a bird
In they sky
And tomorrow when I rise I'll
Wake up in Paris
with a new love in my heart
Or maybe Germany
with that brand new pet I met in Stuttgart
Sky's the limit
It's time to play
I'll put down roots
Some other day
No need to be a lonely joe
The jet set is the only way to go!
Would you like new music, and mystery
Each and every day?
Lose the same old music and history
Make a new friend then fly away and
Wake up in Texas
where they treat their women right
And then try Hollywood
where the stars get lit out in broad daylight!
Any city near or far
feels twice as good as where you are
When you're sick of the status quo
The jet set is the only way to go
Would you like the sleigh ride, a hayride
Then kiddo, just stay home
But if you want Jet Set, then get set
to leave behind Kansas
There's no place like Rome!
Wake up in Rio
Have your coffee in Brazil
When real life gets you down
Take a far-out, one way trip to splitsville
Swedish, Greek, or Japanese,
a stewardess is trained to please
So if you've got what it takes below
Well then fly this bird like Cupid's bow
Cause the jet set's just a holiday
And the jet set goes up up and away so...
Right down to It'ly
for la bella femina
Jump in a fountain
for a big dose of la dolce vita
If your tastes run more risque,
well then we know an old joint in old Bombay
So hang on tight
let's loop-de-loop
It's time to fly this chicken coop
So pack up your suitcase
Check your worries at the gate
Come out and play, boy
Cruise the world to find your perfect playmate
Things look better from above
So buckle up
Next stop is love!
From Timbuktu to Tokyo
From Mozambique to Mexico
Yeah, the jet set is the
Only way to go
