Down With Love Lyrics

Down With Love lyrics

(E.Y. Harburg/Harold Arlen)
Chappell and Co., Inc., ASCAP

Down with love the flowers and rice and shoes 
Down with love the root of all midnight blues 
Down with things that give you that well-known ping 
Take that moon wrap it in cellophane

Down with love let`s liquidate all its friends 
Moon and June and roses and rainbow`s ends 
Down with songs that moan about night and day 
Down with love yes take it away, away

Away 
Far away 
Give it back to the birds and bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid 
Down with sighs and down with cupid 
Brother let`s stuff that dove 
Down with love

Down with love let`s liquidate all its friends 
The moons the Junes the roses and rainbow`s ends 
Down with songs that moan about night and day 
Down with love yes take it away, away

Far away 
So very, very far away 
Give it back to the birds and the bees and especially the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid 
Down with sighs and down with cupid 
Brother let`s stuff that dove 
Down with love
