[Verse]
Music is the food of love
To get us in the mood of love
It adds a tender tone
A melody can light the spark
So let us both ignite the spark
With music of our own
Sweet music of our own

[Refrain]
Let's play a careless rhapsody
And let's set the music free
I'll touch your heartstrings to make the tune clearer
And you'll be nearer me

Maybe a careless rhapsody
Will soon teach us both to care
Strike all the chords that our fingers can find us
Chords that will bind us there

When you are the theme
Oh, it's wonderful
And I'll make that theme
Reach its greatest height

So let's play a careless rhapsody
Deep into the night
