Down with love

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 pain
Take that moon wrap it in cellophane.

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.

Away …
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.

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.
