Love Is in the Air
Stephen Sondheim
[PROLOGUS, PROTEANS]
Love is in the air
Quite clearly
People everywhere
Act queerly
Wives are at their husbands' service
Virgins are distinctly nervous
Love is going around
Anyone exposed
Can catch it
Keep your window closed
And latch it
Leave your house and lose your reason
This is the contagious season
Love is going around
It's spreading each minute
Throughout the whole vicinit-
Y. Step out and you're in it
With everyone involved
Who can stay uninvolved?
Love is in the air
This morning
Bachelors beware
Fair warning!
My advice to you is gratis
If you wanna keep your status
Stay home, don't take a breath
You could catch your death
'Cause love is around
