Dick Shawn - Love Power

Love Power
I'm talking about Love Power
The power of the sweet flower
It's going to rule the Earth

And they'll be a great rebirth

Love is the flower that is mine
When I'm walking with my darling and we're, holding hands
And life is fine
'Cos she understands
Walking down the sunny street
Giving 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
Where the yuck running through her
And it runs into the river that we drink

Hey world you stink
Man it later than you think
Girl you got just one more chance
Come-on baby while I dance

Love, Love Power
I'm talking about, Love Power
The power of a, little flower

You don't think about the little flowers
On 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.
