Verse 1:
Pale, pubescent beasts,
Roam through the streets,
And coffee-shops,
Their prey gather in herds,
Of stiff knee-length skirts,
And white ankle-socks.
But while they search,
For a mate,
My type hiber-nate,
In bedrooms a-bove,
Com-posing their songs,
Of love.
Verse 2:
Young, uniform minds,
In uniform lines,
And uniform ties,
Run round,
With trousers on fire,
And signs of de-sire,
They cannot dis-guise.
While I try to find words,
As light as the birds,
That circle a-bove,
To put in my songs,
Of love.
Bridge 1:
Fate doesn't hang,
On a wrong,
Or right choice,
Fortune de-pends,
On the tone,
Of your voice.
Verse 3:
So sing while,
You have time,
Let the sun shine,
Down from a-bove;
And fill you,
With songs of love.

Bridge 2:
Fate doesn't hang,
On a wrong,
Or right choice,
Fortune de-pends,
On the tone,
Of your voice.
Verse 3:
So let's sing,
While we still can,
While the sun hangs,
High up a-bove,
Wonderful songs,
Of lo..ove,
Beautiful songs,
Of love.
