If we could leave this big ole city And head for the cabin we love Back deep in the woods - baby we would If we could jump some big ole jet plane And go to the islands where the weather Is always good - baby we would But we can't do this and we can't do that But baby we can stay right were we're at - and Take a little trip Take a little trip Take a little trip up to heaven tonight Take a little time Leave it all behind Take a little trip, me and you out of sight Pull down the shades Turn out the lights Take a little trip up to heaven tonight We can go downtown to a night club Dance to the rhythm of the music On that ole hardwood - baby we could Or we can call up Rita and Bobby See what they're doin' tonight Maybe play some rook - yea baby we could We can do this or we can do that Or baby we can stay right where we're at - and Take a little trip Take a little trip Take a little trip up to heaven tonight Take a little time Leave it all behind Take a little trip, me and you out of sight Pull down the shades Turn out the lights Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
