Down With Love

Down with love,

With flowers and rice and shoes,

Down with love,

The root of all midnight blues,

Down with things

That give you that well -known pain,

Take that moon,

Wrap it in cellophane;

Down with love let's liquidate

All it's friends,

Like moon, June, roses

And rainbow's ends,

Down with songs

That moan about night and day;

Down with love,

Take it away, away,

Take it away, take it away,

Give it back to the birds,

And the bees and the Viennese,

Down with eyes romantic and stupid,

Down with sighs, down with cupid.

Brother let's stuff that dove,

Down with love!

Down with love!

Liquidate all it's friends

Like moon, June, roses

And rainbow's ends

Down with songs

That moan about night and day

You are the one...

And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you

Ah, the promised kiss of Spring is here...

Why does my heart go dancin' overhead...

On the ceiling near my bed...

We go now...

Because I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me...

I tell them:

You say eether - I say eyether,

You say neether, I say nyther

Eether, eyether

Neether, nyther

Let's call the whole thing off!

Take it away, take it away

Give it back to the birds

And the bees and the Viennese...

Down with eyes romantic and stupid

Down with sighs, down with cupid,

Brother let's stuff that dove,

Down, down, down

I go on round and round

I go in a spin,

Hey, in the spin, I'm in!

What is this thing...

What is this thing called love?
