Makes a sleepy noise;
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys.

Dressed in clothes of a gayer mood

Love is something if you give it away,
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away,

Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor.

You will laugh on ev'ry string,
And if you are a girl or boy,
You'll sing.

And that I have my own special thing,
And there's no hole in my head.
Too bad.

And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
