Yip Harburg Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Published InYip Harburg Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Quote of the Month

Down with love,
The 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 and wrap it in cellophane;
Down with love,
Let’s liquidate all its friends,
Moon and June and Roses and Rainbow’s ends.

Down with songs
That moan about night and day;
Down with love,
Yes, take it away, away.

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 with love!

Lyric excerpt: “Down with Love”
Lyric by Yip Harburg; Music by Harold Arlen
From Hooray for What! (1937)
