Let's Fly Away

Let's fly away

And find a land that's warm and tropic

Where prohibition's not the topic

All the live long day

Let's fly away

And find a land that's so provincial

We'll never hear what Walter Winchell

Might be forced to say

I'll make your life sublime

Far across the blue

I'll take up all your time

Compromising you

Let's not delay

Make Mother Nature our messiah

New York is not for us

Let's fly away

I've such a hate on Manhattan lately

That I'd gladly die

Your conversation excites me greatly

For so have I

I'm tired of the telephone always ringing

I'm tired of hearing Rudy Vallee singing

I'm tired of the Paramount's gaudy gilding

I'm tired of looking up at the Chrysler building

I'm tired of having Texas gynin greet me

I'm tired of having Grover Whalen meet me

There's only one solution, dear

Let's calmly disappear

Let's fly away

And find a land that's warm and tropic

Where prohibition's not the topic

All the live long day

Let's fly away

And find a land that's so provincial

We'll never hear what Walter Winchell

Might be forced to say

I'll make your life sublime

Far across the blue

I'll take up all your time

Compromising you

Let's not delay

Make Mother Nature our messiah

New York is not for us

Let's fly away
