(Harold Arlen/E.Y. "Yip" Harburg)

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

Take it away
Take it away
Give it back to the birds and 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 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

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 with love

Down down down with love
