Love Is Sweeping the Country Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 every heart
And every 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

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
