Stephen Sondheim
Love is in the Air (Cut from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 1962)
[PROLOGUS, PROTEANS]
Love is in the air
Quite clearly
People everywhere
Act queerly
Wives are at their husbands' service
Virgins are distinctly nervous
Love is going around
It's spreading each minute
Throughout the whole vicinity
Step out and you're in it
With everyone involved
Who can stay uninvolved?
Love is in the air
This morning
Bachelors beware
Fair warning!
My advice to you is gratis
If you want to keep your status
Stay home, don't take a breath
You could catch your death
'Cause love is around
