Barbra Streisand performing ' Down with Love ' in The Judy Garland Show © in 1963. The Judy Garland Show: Episode 9 Taped: October 4, 1963 Aired: October 6, 1963 Lyrics: Down With Love, sung by Barbra Streisand E.Y. Harburg and H. Arlen 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 well --known... pain, Take that moon, wrap it in cellophane, Down with love, let's liquidate all it's friends, Such as moon, June, roses and rainbow's ends, Down with songs, that moan about night and day, Down with love, Take it away, away, Take it away, (kill yourself), 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 with love, liquidate all it's friends Like moon, June, roses And rainbow's ends Down with songs, that moan about night and day You are the one... And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you Ah, 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 they don't listen to me... I tell them: You say eether - I say eyether, You say neether, I say neyether Eether, eyether Neether, neyether Let's call the whole thing off! 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, down, Down I go, Round and round I go, In a spin, Hating the spin I'm in, What is this thing... What is this thing called love? Oh Love!
