Let's Get Busy
Dinah Washington & Hal Mooney And His Orchestra Lyrics

I'm so tired of this dull routine
The monotony of my daily life has drained my energy and excitement.

Up to town on the eight fifteen
I commute to the city every morning at the same early hour, following an unchanging schedule.

Back at night, off to bed and then
After a long day, I return home in the evening, only to sleep and prepare for the next day.

Get up and start it all over again
I awaken to repeat this predictable cycle day after day.

Let's take a boat to Bermuda
Let’s escape to a beautiful, relaxing destination, far from our current lives.

Let's take a plane to Saint Paul
How about a quick flight to Minnesota, providing a fresh adventure?

Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack
We can paddle to nearby towns, exploring their charm in a fun way.

Let's get away from it all
It's time to disconnect from our responsibilities and experience freedom.

Let's take a trip in a trailer
We could embark on a road trip, traveling at our own pace and style.

No need to come back at all
There’s no obligation to return; we could simply keep exploring indefinitely.

Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder
Let’s escape for a delightful culinary experience in Boston, known for its clam chowder.

Let's get away from it all
Once again, we emphasize the desire to break free from our current circumstances.

We'll travel 'round from town to town
We’ll journey from one community to another, discovering new places together.

We'll visit every state
Our travels will lead us to explore each and every region of the country.

And I'll repeat, I love you sweet
In each location, I want to express my affection for you repeatedly.

In all the forty eight
I want to affirm my love in all the contiguous states of the U.S.

Let's go again to Niagra
Let’s revisit the iconic Niagara Falls for another breathtaking experience.

This time we'll look at the fall
On this trip, we will appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the waterfalls.

Let's leave our hut, dear
Let’s abandon our small, confining home for a while.

Get out of our rut, dear
It’s time to break free from our stagnant and repetitive lifestyle.

Let's get away from it all
We should seek to escape the pressures of our everyday lives.

Hey, let's motor down to Miami
Let’s drive to Miami and enjoy its vibrant atmosphere and beaches.

Let's climb the Grand Canyon Wall
We can take a thrilling hike and explore the majestic Grand Canyon.

Let's catch tuna way out in Laguna
We can venture out to the ocean for a fishing trip in Laguna Beach.

Let's get away from it all
Continuing our desire to leave behind our daily stresses for adventure.

Let's travel south of the border
Let’s journey to a foreign land, perhaps Mexico, for new experiences.

I'll get a real Spanish shawl
I want to embrace the culture by acquiring a traditional garment.

For me a muchacha, but not while I watch ya
I’d appreciate the companionship of a local woman, but I’ll respect your presence.

Let's get away from it all
Reiterating our wish to leave everything behind for a while.

Oh, they say there's no place quite like home
People often claim that home is incomparable and uniquely comforting.

A charming thought and pure
This idea is appealing and carries a certain innocence.

But until the world we roam
However, until we explore beyond our familiar surroundings...

How can we be sure
...we won’t know if that notion really holds true over new experiences.

So we're off, off to Niagra
With enthusiasm, we're setting off once again to Niagara Falls.

This time we're digging the fall
This time, we’ll truly appreciate the grandeur of the waterfalls.

Let's leave the hut, dear
Let’s abandon our familiar but constricted living space, my love.

Get out of our rut, dear
Together, let’s escape our monotonous routine, my dear.

Order a jet, that's what we'll get
Let’s plan an extravagant trip by booking a private jet for travel.

And we'll fly away from it all
We will soar far away from our problems and daily constraints.
