< instrumental opening >

I'd like to get away from every city street

to some romantic spot is where I want to be

a place that offers something daringly new,

but darling, not with out . . .

I want to see the moon that makes the desert dry,

I want Niagara in a flood of amber light,

the Adirondacks with its beautiful view,

but darling, not with out . . .

Familiar faces, the same stupid places,

are giving me a wanderlust,

I want to do things and go everywhere,

but you must be there, you must . . .

The Mardi Gras at New Orleans I'm thinking of,

or out in Hollywood among the stars I love,

there are so may things I'm dying to do,

but darling, not with out . . .
