Lyrics Love Is Sweeping the Country - 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
