Freedom Song

Darling will you come?
Let's take a holiday
We've been working hard all summer
The autumn's nearly begun
Let's fly away to an island in the sun

How about New York?
Just a few hours away
Go see Mamma, the Whitney Museum, and maybe the Carnegie Hall
Just go shopping or walking, do nothing at all

We could take a hike
Pack up a hamper and find a nice place by a babbling brook in a book with a view that we like
Finish the afternoon nicely with renting a bike

Oh what about your Mum?
She could look after the kids
While we take a few days off we'll feel like we're on the run
Nothing can possibly stop us from having some fun

I will call in sick
Make up a story
I'll tell them I'm poorly and hope that they fall for the same old trick
Book the hotel, the flights, and get away quick

Let's go right away Desiree
Thinking about all the ins and the outs, roundabouts
We won't do it at all if we stay
Take the bull by the horns darling, what do you say?

Darling come with me
We'll have a good time away from the telephone, paging, and messaging, new interactive TV
No one to fax us or tax us and we shall be free
