"If There's Such A Thing As Love"


Now the clock is striking one
so we might as well begin it
as there's dancing to be done
and our time is not infinite.

If there's such a thing as love, I'm in it.

So you claim you love me too.
Lloyd's of London guarantee it.
Gaze into these eyes of blue.
You do love me, I decree it.

If there's such a thing as love, give me it.

When I was two-and-a-half
my mama said to me,
"Love is funny; you will laugh till the day you turn three."

Like a kitten up a tree needs a fireman to rescue it
so your fireman I will be
and I'll really get into it.

If there's such a thing as love, let's do it.

I thought I'd known love before.
That was not it, but I thought it.
So I thought I'd win the war
or I never would have fought it.

If there's such a thing as love, I've caught it.
