[Sung by: The Tramp and the Do-Gooders]
|
|
In a world full of jive,
|
Full of homicide and suicide,
|
There's no room for love and romance.
|
In a world full of spite
|
Full of hatefulness and bitterness,
|
Sincerity don't stand a chance.
|
And every night I close my eyes
|
And ask the stars above,
|
Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?
|
|
Where is love and romance,
|
And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales
|
And the ordinary things people did long ago.
|
Where did it go?
|
Where is love?
|
Where is hope?
|
Where is sympathy and trust?
|
Where is faith?
|
Where is joy in simplicity?
|
And where is regard and respect?
|
Oh where, oh where is love?
|
This world is spinning and turning
|
And my head is full of learning,
|
But my thoughts keep on returning
|
To the things I used to know.
|
I should be stronger,
|
But my mind continually wanders
|
And deep inside
|
A voice keeps crying
|
Where, oh where is love?
|
|
Where is love and romance,
|
And appreciation of storybooks, fairytales,
|
And the ordinary things people did long ago?
|
Where did it go?
|
In a world full of jive,
|
Full of homicide and suicide,
|
There's no room for love and romance.
|
In a world full of rape,
|
Full of hatefulness and bitterness,
|
Sincerity don't stand a chance.
|
And every night I close my eyes
|
And ask the stars above,
|
Oh where, oh where, oh where, oh where is love?
|
Where oh where is love?
|
Where is Love?
|
Where is hope?
|
Where is sympathy and trust?
|
Where is faith?
|
Where is joy and simplicity
|
And where is regard and respect?
|
Oh where, oh where is love?
|
Oh where oh where is love?
|
Oh where oh where is love?
|
