[Verse]
HE: I've such a hat on Manhattan lately,
    That I'd gladly die.
SHE: Your conversation excites me greatly,
    For so have I.
HE: I'm tired of the telephone always ringing.
SHE: I'm tired of hearing Rudy Vallee singing.
HE: I'm tired of Paramount's gaudy gilding.
SHE: I'm tired of looking up to Chrysler Buildings.
HE: I'm tired of having Texas Guinan greet me.
SHE: I'm tired of having Grover Whalen meet me.
HE: There's only one solution, dear.
SHE: Let's calmly disappear.


[Refrain]
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, let's fly away.
