Let's Fly Away 1930 'The New Yorkers'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Dec 2002

[He:] I've such a hate 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 Valleé singing.
[He:] I'm tired of
the Paramount's gaudy gilding.
[She:] I'm tired of looking up to
the Chrysler Building.
[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.

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 country 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 make delay,
make Mother Nature our Messiah;
New York is not for us,
let's fly away!
