Lets Get Away From It All
Tommy Dorsey
Music and Lyrics by Matt Dennis and Tom Adair
Lets take a boat to Bermuda,
Lets take a plane to Saint Paul,
Lets take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack,
Lets get away from it all.
Lets take a trip in a trailer,
No need to come back at all.
Lets take a powder to Boston for chowder,
Lets get away from it all.
Well travel round from town to town,
Well visit evry state,
Alaska and Hawaii too,
Then all the forty eight.
Lets go again to Niagra
This time well visit the Fall.?
