FLYING by the Beatles, new words by Joel Sattler
Flying over LA
Sun come up another day
Flying over LA
Word for what I wanna say
Maybe
Flying over LA
Flying over the sea
All my friends along with me
Young and wild you can see
Come and sing along with me
Free free
Flying over the sea
Flying over the earth
O'er the land that gave us birth
Flying over the earth
More than anything is worth
Blue blue
Flying over the earth
Flying over the world
Sing to every boy and girl
Flying over the world
Sky the mother of pearl
Whirl whirl
Flying over the world
Flying over the sun
It's a barrel full of fun
Flying over the sun
Come on boys we gotta run
Run run
Flying over the sun
Flying over the sky
Who knew you could get so high
Flying over the sky
Come on boys we gotta try
Why why
Flying over the sky
[Thank you boys!]

In the new arrangement of this song,
Ringo begins by singing the “Los Angeles” verse in a cappella.
Then the original recording begins softly,
playing through the instrument verse.
Then, for the rest of the verses,
the “la la la” verse is repeated over and over again,
but the full orchestra from the song “A Day in the Life” begins to intrude,
until it is almost drowning out the vocals.
The last chord from “A Day in the Life”
coincides with the ending of the sung portion of “Flying”,
and the “psychedelic” portion is the coda, as in the original version.
At the end, Ringo whispers “thank you boys! thank you boys!”
as the song fades to silence.....
