Arnold Weinstein - Amor lyrics

It wasn't the policeman's fault In all the traffic roar Instead of shouting “Halt!” When he saw me, he shouted, “Amor Amor Amor Amor.” Even the ice cream man (free ice creams by the score!) Instead of shouting "bu*ter pecan!" One look at me, he shouted, “Amor Amor Amor!” All over town it went that way Everybody took off the day Even philosophers understood How good was the good ‘Cause I looked so good! The poor stopped taking less The rich stopped needing more Instead of saying “no” and “yes” Both looking at me shouted “Amor!” (scat break) My stay in town was cut short I was dragged to court The judge said I disturbed the peace And the jury gave him what for! The judge raised his hand And instead of desist and cease Judgie came to the stand Took my hand and whispered “Amor Amor Amor Amor!” Night was turning into day I walked alone away (Never see that town again.) But as I pa**ed the church house door Instead of singing “Amen” The choir was singing, “Amor Amor Amor Amor!”
