Lyrics
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 wellknown,
ah, pain.
Take that moon,
wrap it in cellophane.
(F6)Down with love;
let's (Bb9)liquidate all its friends,
(F7)like moon and June and (Bb9)roses and rainbows' ends.
(F7)Down with songs that (Bb7)moan about night and (F7)day.
(D7)Down with (Bb)love;
take it away,
(F6)away.
Take it (Bb9)away,
take it (F)away.
(F)Give it back (Dm)to the birds (Faug)and the bees (F)and the
(Bm7)Viennese.
(F6)Down with (Gm7)eyes, (F6)romantic and (Bb6)stupid.
(F13)Down with (Eb13)sighs, (D7)down with Cupid.
(Gm)Brother, let's stuff that (C)dove.
(Bb)Down with (F)love.
(F6)Down with (Gm7)love;
let's (F6)liquidate (Bb6)all (F6)its (Abdim7)friends,
like (F6)moon, June, and roses and rainbows' ends.
(Bb7)Down with songs that (Bbm6)moon about night and (Fmaj7)day.
(E7)You are the (A)one,
and I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you.
(Bm7)Ah, (Em7)the promised kiss of spring is here.
Why does my heart go dancin' overhead on the ceiling near my bed?
We go now
because I talk to the trees,
but (F)they (Fm)don't (C)listen to (Csus4)me.
I tell them:
(F)You say (Fdim7)"eether," (Gm7)I say (C7)"eyether."
(F)You say (Fdim7)"neether," (Gm7)I say (C7)"nyether."
(F)"Eether," (F7)"eyether," (Bb)"neether," (Bdim7)(F)"nyether."
Let's call (Bb)the whole thing (F)off.
Take it (Bb)away,
(Gm7)take it (F6)away.
Give it back (Dm)to the birds (Dm(maj7))and the bees (Dm7)and the
