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
