Let's Get Away from It All
Ray Ellis and His Orchestra Lyrics

I'm so tired of this dull routine
I am exhausted from the monotonous cycle

Up to town on the eight fifteen
Commute to town every day at 8:15 AM

Back at night, off to bed and then
Return home at night and immediately retire

Get up and start it all over again
Repeat the same daily pattern every day

Let's take a boat to Bermuda
Let us travel by sailboat to Bermuda

Let's take a plane to Saint Paul
Let us fly to Saint Paul

Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack
Let us journey to Quincy or Nyack by kayak

Let's get away from it all
Let us escape from our ordinary lives

Let's take a trip in a trailer
Let us embark on a journey in a trailer

No need to come back at all
There is no need to return

Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder
Let us go to Boston for clam chowder

We'll travel 'round from town to town
We will travel to many different towns

We'll visit every state
We will tour every state in the country

And I'll repeat, I love you sweet
I will continuously profess my love

In all the forty eight
In all forty-eight states

Let's go again to Niagra
Let us revisit Niagara Falls

This time we'll look at the fall
This time we will observe the waterfall

Let's leave our hut, dear
Let us depart from our dwelling, my love

Get out of our rut, dear
Let us free ourselves from the daily grind, my love

Let's get away from it all
Once again, let us escape from our ordinary lives

Hey, let's motor down to Miami
Hey, let us drive to Miami

Let's climb the Grand Canyon Wall
Let us scale the Grand Canyon's vertical surface

Let's catch tuna way out in Laguna
Let us catch tuna far off the coast of Laguna

Let's travel south of the border
Let us journey to a country south of the United States

I'll get a real Spanish shawl
I will purchase an authentic Spanish garment

For me a muchacha, but not while I watch ya
I desire a young woman, but not while you are present

Let's get away from it all
Once again, let us escape from our ordinary lives

Oh, they say there's no place quite like home
They say that home is unparalleled

A charming thought and pure
A delightful and pure idea

But until the world we roam
Until we travel the world

How can we be sure
How can we be certain?

So we're off, off to Niagra
So we are leaving for Niagara Falls

This time we're digging the fall
This time we are truly enjoying the waterfall

Let's leave the hut, dear
Once again, let us depart from our dwelling, my love

And get out of our rut, dear
And liberate ourselves from the daily grind, my love

Order a jet, that's what we'll get
We will charter a private jet

And we'll fly away from it all
And we will fly far from our ordinary lives
