Take a man of my age,
A little grey around the brow.
Been working hard all my life,
From then till now, from then till now.
(Chorus1)
I just need to get away,
Forget all this stuff.
Bad news, crimes and war,
You know I really have had enough.

Gonna put on my Hawaiian shirt,
Red flowers, birds and all,
Gonna slip off to paradise,
Stay winter, spring and fall. Stay winter, spring
and fall

When this world is getting you down,
There's this place I know.
Just put on your Hawaiian shirt,
Close your eyes, we'll go, just close your eyes, we'll go.

(Chorus2)
We just need to get away,
Forget all this stuff.
Bad news crimes and war,
You know we really have had enough.

Just put on your Hawaiian shirt,
Red flowers birds and all,
We can slip off to paradise,
Stay winter spring and fall,
Might not come back at all, might not be back at all.
