Take me away from the city
Take me away from the town
To a place where the scenery's pretty
A place where there's grass all around
Take me away

Make it a place where there's sunshine
Water to swim if I want
A house with a view will be fine
With a pipe and a chair in the front
Take me away

I'm so tired of walking around the street
With the people rushing, pushing, crushing my feet

All I need is the bus fare
Maybe a nickel or a dime
If you want to help me get there
I'll take your cash any time
Take me away
