Lyrics from Down With Love

Here's to Love
Marc Shaiman

C: Barbara, I'd like to propose a toast, to the topic I dig the most
B: Catch, let me dust off my lovin' cup
C&B: Hey bartender, fill 'er up

B: Look how the neon starts to flicker
C: Love's like a shot but works much quicker
B: And you're a man who can hold his liquor
C&B: Cheers, here's to love

B: I'm an old-fashioned and you're the cherry
C: I've got a thirst that's legendary
B: That's why I fired your secretary
C&B: Cheers, here's to love

C: Life's a martini
B: And you're the shaker
C: And baby, I sure packed a punch!
B: Hey! You make Dean Martin look like a Quaker
C: But now it's only you for dinner...
B: Breakfast...
C: And lunch

C: I hear the march that's calling for us
B: We'll walk down the aisle to an angels' chorus
C: I'll be your Rock if you'll be my Doris
C&B: Sweet heavens above

B: Why is the waiter smiling at us
C: He knows what we're thinking of
C: Oh, Can the tears
C&B: Cheers! Baby, here's to love

B: You've got the lips to wet my whistle
C: If that doesn't get ya, maybe this'll
B: Cupid just launched a guided missile
C&B: Cheers, here's to love

B: Your eyes are so intoxicating
C: Bottoms up, babe, let's get to mating
B: I'll bet it bears re-it-erating
C&B: Cheers, here's to love

R&C: Though it ain't New Year's, pop the champagne and let's take a spin on the floor
C: Your moves are good
B: I'm feeling no pain
C&B: So let's pay the check and slip out the back door

C&B: We took Manhattan without the bitters
We're stayin' put, last call's for quitters
Soon it will be just baby-sitters
C: 'Cause this hawk's now a dove
C: Baby the cab is blowin' its horn
B: But I can't find my hat and my gloves
C: Oh, Can the tears
C&B: Cheers! Baby, here's to love

C: Here's mud in your eye
B: Here's lookin' at you, kid
C: Here, this'll put hairs on your chest. Not that I would want that.
C&B: Here's to love...
