Mel Brooks - Love Power lyrics

Love power i'm talking about love power
The power of a sweet flower
Is gonna rule the earth
And there'll be a great rebirth

Love is a flower that is fine
When I'm walkin' with my darlin'
And we're holding hands
And life is fine, 'cause she understands
'A walking down the sunny street
Givin' pretty flowers to the
People that we meet

And I give a flower to the big fat cop
He takes his club and he beats me up
I give a flower to the garbage man
He stuffs my girl in the garbage can
And I give it to the landlord
When the rent comes 'round
He throws it in the toilet
And he flush it down
It goes into the sewer with
The yuck running through her
And it runs into the river that we drink
Hey world, you stink!
Ah, man it's later than you think
Girl you got just one more chance
Come on baby, while I dance

Love, love power
I'm talking 'bout love power
The power of a little flower
You don't think 'bout no little flowers
Oh no, all you think about is guns
If everybody in the world today had
A flower instead of a gun
There would be no wars there
Would be one big smell-in
Just the flowers hey, man, a flower
A flower what you do to my flower, man?
You hurt it, like everything else
Everything else flowers
