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 mourn about night and day
Down with love
Take it away, away

Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
To 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 song
That mourns 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,
What 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 either, i say i-ther
You say neither, i say neither, i say ni-ther
Either, i-ther
Neither, ni-ther
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?
