- Chorus:
- Let's take a boat to Bermuda,
Let's take a plane to Saint Paul,
Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack, Let's get away from it
all.
- Let's take a trip in a trailer,
No need to come back at all.
Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder, Let's get away from
it all.
- We'll travel 'round from
town to town, We'll visit ev'ry state.
I'll repeat, I love you, Sweet, In all the forty eight.
- Let's go again to Niag'ra,
This time we'll look at the "Fall".
Let's leave our hut, Dear, Get out of our rut, Dear. Let's get
away from it all.
