Love Is Sweeping the Country

Lyrics

[JENKINS] Why are people gay All the night and day Feeling as they never felt before? [BENSON] What is the thing That makes them sing? [JENKINS] Rich man, poor man, thief Doctor, lawyer, chief [BENSON] Feel a feeling that they can't ignore [JENKINS & BENSON] It plays a part In every heart And every heart is shouting "Encore!" [JENKINS] Love is sweeping the country [BENSON] Waves are hugging the shore [JENKINS & BENSON] All the sexes From Maine to Texas Have never known such love before [JENKINS] See them billing and cooing Like the birdies above [BENSON] Each girl and boy alike Sharing joy alike Feels that passion'll Soon be national [JENKINS & BENSON] Love is sweeping the country There never was so much love [ENSEMBLE] Love is sweeping the country Waves are hugging the shore All the sexes From Maine to Texas Have never felt such love before See them billing and cooing Like the birdies above Each girl and boy alike Sharing joy alike Feels that passion'll Soon be national Love is sweeping the country There never was so much love [JENKINS] Spring is in the air Each mortal loves his neighbor [BENSON] Who's that loving pair? That's Capital and Labor [JENKINS] Chevrolet and Ford Have felt this cosmic urging [BENSON] They with one accord Have kissed and now are merging [JENKINS] Florida and Cal- Ifornia get together In a festival Of oranges and weather [BENSON] Boston upper zones Are changing all their habits And I hear the Cohns Are taking up the Cabots [JENKINS] Taxi men take dimes And never curse the traffic While the New York Times Adores the New York Graphic [ENSEMBLE] Love is sweeping the country Waves are hugging the shore All the sexes From Maine to Texas Have never felt such love before See them billing and cooing Like the birdies above Each girl and boy alike Sharing joy alike Feels that passion'll Soon be national Love is sweeping the country There never was so much love
