About Let's Go Away For Awhile

"Let's Go Away for Awhile" is an instrumental by the American pop band The Beach Boys, from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. It is the sixth track on the album. The track was composed and produced by Brian Wilson and was originally titled "The Old Man And The Baby". An early full working title was "Let's Go Away For Awhile (And Then We'll Have World Peace)" - the parenthetical being a reference to Del Close and John Brent's comedy album How to Speak Hip. "This is a great Burt Bacharach type of thing," Brian said in 1996. .
