Down With Love Lyrics - Blossom Dearie

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 

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
