When you're feeling all down and out
And you ain't got nothing you can't live without
Listen to me
(There's a song)
All you people
(In the air)
You can like it
(People like you)
All you need is
(Everwhere)
Getaway, gotta get away
Gotta get somewhere
You gotta get away
Getaway, gotta get away
Gotta get somewhere
You gotta get away
There's a black who wants to know
What's his native country
(gotta get away)
And he wondered through the world
Yet he didn't find
(gotta get away)
Yeah, there's an Indian at the creek
And he wants to go fishing
(gotta get away)
But the white man walking by
Said the creek is mine
Getaway, gotta get away
Gotta get somewhere
You gotta get away
Saying goodbye, bye, bye bye
When you get away
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Any lousy day
Bye, bye, bye
Why... don't you get away, yeah
There's a man who wants to fly
Look around in Moscow
(gotta get away)
But he ought to know
They don't want him around
(gotta get away)
Yeah, there's a farmer in Brasil
And he wants to get married
(gotta get away)
But he can't afford the price
'Cause they pay him low
Getaway, gotta get away
Gotta get somewhere
You gotta get away
Saying goodbye, bye, bye, bye
When you get away
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Any lousy day
Bye, bye, bye
Why... don't you get away, yeah
There's a black who wants to know
What's his native country
(gotta get away)
And he wondered through the world
Yet he didn't find
(gotta get away)
There's an Indian at the creek
And he wants to go fishing
(gotta get away)
But the white man walking by
Said the creek is mine, so
Getaway, gotta get away
Gotta get somewhere
You gotta get away
Saying goodbye, bye, bye, bye
When you get away
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Any lousy day
Bye, bye, bye
Why... don't you get away
