Lyrics

Down with love, with flow ers and rice and shoes.

Down with love, the root of all mid night blues.

Down with things that give you that well known, ah,

pain.

Take that moon, wrap it in cel lo phane.

(F6)Down with love; let’s liq ui date all its friends,

like moon and June and (Bb9)ros es and rain bows’ ends.

Down with songs that (Bb7)moan a bout night and (F7)day.

(D)Down with (Bb)love;

take it a way, a (F6)way.

Take it a (Bb9)way,

take it a (F)way.

Give it back (Dm)to the birds (F)and the bees (F)and the Vi (B)en nese.

(F6)Down with (Gm7)eyes, ro (F6)man tic and (Bb6)stu pid.

(F13)Down with (Eb13)sighs,

down with Cu pid.

B (Gm)roth er, let’s stuff that (C)dove.

Down with (F)love.

(F6)Down with (Gm7)love; let’s (F6)liq ui date (Bb6)all (F6)its (Ab)friends,

like (F6)moon, June, and ros es and rain bows’ ends.

(Bb7)Down with songs that (Bbm6)moon a bout night and (Fmaj7)day.

(E7)You are the (A)one,

and I don’t stand a chance with a ghost like you.

Ah,

the prom ised kiss of spring is here.

Why does my heart go danc in’ o ver head on the ceil ing near my bed?

We go now

be cause I talk to the trees,

but (F)they (Fm)don’t (C)lis ten (C)to (Csus4)me.

I tell them: (F)You say (F)“ee ther,” (Gm7)I say (C)“eye ther.” (F)You say (F)“nee ther,” (Gm7)I say (C)“nye ther.” “Ee ther,” (F7)“eye ther,” “nee ther,” (B)“nye (F)ther.” Let’s call (Bb)the whole thing (F)off.

Take it a (Bb)way,

(G)take it a (F6)way.

Give it back (Dm)to the birds (Dm(maj7))and the bees (Dm7)and the Vi (Dm6)en (Gm7)nese.

(F)Down with eyes, ro (Bbmaj7)man tic and stu pid.

(A)Down with sighs,

down with Cu pid.

B (Gm7)roth er, (Bb)let’s stuff that dove.

D d down

I (Bbm6)go,

a (Am7)round and a round I go

(Gm7)in (Bb)a spin, ooh, hat ing the (B)spin I’m in.

What is this thing,

what is this thing called love?
