Let’s Not Talk About Anything Else But Love

Lyrics

[MAL] Can't we talk about anything else but love? [GOMEZ, spoken] Love that launched a thousand ships [MAL] Please! Let's talk about anything else but love [GOMEZ, spoken] Love that causes war and famine [MAL] Can't we speak about real estate? [GOMEZ, spoken] Love of wife [MAL] Watergate? [GOMEZ, spoken] Love of children! [MAL] Seasonal fluctuations in the prime interest rate? [GOMEZ, spoken] Love of chocolate, you must love chocolate, everybody loves chocolate, say you do, say it [MAL] Can't we talk about anything else but [GOMEZ] Love is elation Like an oration Love speaks to us in tongues Natural as teething Simple as breathing Air in the love-starved lungs Love looks at us and sighs [MAL] That's all a pack of lies Love is a fiction like an affliction Love is an ancient curse Posing contentment Causing resentment Fulfilment in reverse Love is a dismal thing [GOMEZ] Mal! Why should we fight, let's sing! (spoken) And you know the only thing better than singing? [MAL, spoken] What? [GOMEZ, spoken] Singing and dancing! (sung) Let's not talk about anything else but love Worth repeating Let's not talk about anything else but love [MAL, spoken] Why? [GOMEZ] Life is fleeting and pleasures come Pleasures go Love can come and go in one throw Let's not talk about anything else but love But love But love [FESTER, spoken] Did I just hear the word love? [GOMEZ] Ahah! [FESTER] Let's not talk about anything else but love [MAL] Of all the scams I'd ever heard Love's the one that's most absurd [FESTER] Let's not talk about anything else but love [MAL] And look what good is done Not for me Not my son [FESTER] Be patient And soon the way will be clear [GOMEZ] Focus your fear [FESTER] And troubles all will disappear [GOMEZ] Let's not talk about anything else but love [MAL] It's hard for me to show you see, my mother didn't know you see [GOMEZ & (FESTER)] Let's not talk about anything else but love (Nothing better) [MAL] Afraid of a touch, I don't like it so much [GOMEZ & FESTER] Hold on tight Say goodnight But don't dream of starting a fight Let's not talk about anything else but love Since the dawn of man began Everyone has had a plan From Anchorage to Afghanistan [FESTER, spoken] Immortalized by Paul Cezanne [GOMEZ & FESTER] Just like an orangutan You've a short attention span So we'll do the best we can By golly and bipartisan Let's not talk about anything old Please don't leave us out in the cold Let's not talk about anything else but love [ALL] But love But love
