Love Is Sweeping The Country 1931 'Of Thee I Sing'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Apr 2005

Why are people gay all the night and day.
Feeling as they never felt before?
What is the thing that makes them sing?
Rich man, poor man, thief,
Doctor, lawyer, chief,
Feel a feeling that they can't ignore;
it plays a part in ev'ry heart,
and ev'ry heart is shouting "Encore!"

Love is sweeping the country,
waves are hugging the shore,
all the sexes from Maine to Texas
have never known such love before.
See them billing and cooing,
like the birdies above,
each girl and boy alike
sharing joy alike,
feels that passion'll soon be national.
Love is sweeping the country,
there never was so much love.

Love is sweeping the country,
waves are hugging the shore,
all the sexes from Maine to Texas
have never known such love before.
See them billing and cooing,
like the birdies above,
each girl and boy alike
sharing joy alike,
feels that passion'll soon be national.
Love is sweeping the country,
there never was so much love.
