Stephen Sondheim
Love’s a Bond
[VOCALIST]
I'm smart as a fox
With bonds and with stocks
I've cornered wheat, alfalfa and rye
But now I'm tired of
That hue and cry
Consolidated Love
Is all I buy

When put to the test
I like to invest
But I won't be a great financier
Love's the stock I like
It's free and clear
But it'll be blue chip
If you chip
In with me, my dear

Love's a bond that's pure
Its dividends are sure
This bond, if you get it
Is stable and yet it
Will grow if you let it
Mature

And darling, have you heard?
The market's spiraling like a bird!
As AT&T will
Go up and up, we will
'Cause this new love of ours
Is gilt-edge preferred
And darling, have you heard?
A rise in stocks has just occurred
If sold in the dark, it
Will soon flood the market
Though love is common
Still and all, it's preferred
