Let’s Get Away from It All is most commonly associated with Frank Sinatra, who had a hit with it as a member of The Pied Pipers while he was a part of Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra. He later recorded it for his Come Fly with Me album as well., But many others have recorded it and it is considered a standard of traditional pop music.

Song lyrics to Let’s Get Away from It All (1941) music by Matt Dennis and lyrics by Tom Adair

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
And 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

Let’s motor down to Miami  
Let’s climb the Grand Canyon wall  
Let’s catch a tuna way out in Laguna  
Let’s get away from it all  

Let’s travel south of the border  
Find me a real Spanish shawl  
Let’s eat tamales in downtown Nogales
Let’s get away from it all  

We’ll charter boats and airplanes too
To far-off spots unknown
Then hurry there to find somewhere
Where we can be alone

Let’s spend a weekend in Dixie  
And pick up that sweet southern drawl  
Then off to Reno  
But just to play keno  
Let’s get away from it all
