IN ALL THE TRAFFIC ROAR,

INSTEAD OF SHOUTING HALT

WHEN HE SAW ME HE SHOUTED,

`AMOR, AMOR, AMOR, AMOR.`

EVEN THE ICECREAM MAN

(FREE ICECREAMS

BY THE SCORE)

INSTEAD OF SHOUTING

BUTTER PECAN

ONE LOOK AT ME

HE SHOUTED,

`AMOR, AMOR, AMOR.`

ALL OVER TOWN

IT WENT THAT WAY,

EV`RYBODY

TOOK OFF THE DAY,

EVEN PHILOSOPHERS

UNDERSTOOD

HOW GOOD

WAS THE GOOD

`CUZ I LOOKED

SO GOOD!

THE POOR

STOPPED TAKING LESS,

THE RICH

STOPPED NEEDING MORE.

INSTEAD OF SHOUTING

NO AND YES

BOTH LOOKING AT ME SHOUTED,

`AMOR.`

MY STAY IN TOWN

WAS CUT SHORT -

I WAS DRAGGED TO COURT.

THE JUDGE SAID

I DISTURBED THE PEACE

AND THE JURY GAVE HIM

WHAT FOR!

THE JUDGE RAISED HIS HAND

AND INSTEAD OF

DESIST AND CEASE,

JUDGIE CAME TO THE STAND,

TOOK MY HAND

AND WHISPERED,

`AMOR, AMOR, AMOR, AMOR.`

NIGHT WAS TURNING

INTO DAY,

I WALKED ALONE

AWAY.

(NEVER SEE

THAT TOWN AGAIN.)

BUT AS I PASSED

THE CHURCHHOUSE DOOR

INSTEAD OF SINGING AMEN

THE CHOIR WAS SINGING,

`AMOR.

AMOR,

AMOR,
