(EY Harburg and H Arlen)

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 rainbows 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
Are the promised kiss of spring is here
Why does my heart go dancing overhead
On the ceiling near my bed - der go now
Because I talk to the trees but they don't listed to me
I tell them "You say eether, I say either, you say neether, I say neither
Eether, either, neether, neither 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, around and around I go
In a spin, hating that spin that I'm in
What it this thing, what is this thing called love?
