I flew in an aeroplane to make my way to you

High up in the northern skies, the only way that I knew

I flew in an aeroplane, across the northern sea

Way up in the astral plane

To the Cyprus Avenue trees

 

All that we ever do, comes back to you

Now you’re here you won’t believe it

 

Oh Ruby, look at how the world is so groovy

You’re the star of every new movie

Shake your hips the way your mama showed you

 

Oh Ruby, cruising down the streets of your youth

Taking in the sights and the truths

Learning how to speak with new words

 

I see all the photographs, you’re the center of your world

Supermodel in a big white scarf 

You’re a classy kind of girl

I see that you’re stepping out for a long walk in the sun

Your chauffeur needs some sleep

But the day has just begun

 

All that we ever do, comes back to you

Here come Magnus and Oscar too!

 

Oh Ruby, look at how the world is so groovy

You’re the star of every new movie

Shake your hips the way your mama showed you

 

Oh Ruby, cruising down the streets of your youth

Taking in the sights and the truths

Learning how to speak with new words
