"Let's Get Away from It All" is a popular song with music by Matt Dennis and lyrics by Tom Adair, published in 1941.

The song is most commonly associated with Frank Sinatra (who had a hit with it as a member of The Pied Pipers while he was a part of Tommy Dorsey's orchestra[1] and later for his Come Fly with Me album), but many others have recorded it and it is considered a standard of traditional pop music.

Other recordings

During 1966 to 1969, The Supremes (Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson) performed this song as part of a medley with "The Lady Is a Tramp" in nightclubs such as the Copacabana in 1967 and Roostertail in 1966. The 1968 album, Live at London's Talk of the Town, had the song included with the same medley.
