LET'S FLY AWAY
Cole Porter   1930


Lee Wiley w Bunny Berigan & his Music   
rec April 10th 1940 New York


also-
Jeri Southern w Billy May & his orch '59


Let's fly away
And find a land that's warm and tropic,
Where Roosevelt is 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'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!
