Zappa, Frank - Fountain Of Love Lyrics






[includes a quote from Rite Of Spring (Stravinsky)]

Fountain... of... love!

One... two...

It was September, the leaves were gold
That's when our hearts knew that story untold
We were young lovers
(We were young lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

Do you remember, I held you so near
Our love's glowing ember so precious and dear
We were young lovers
(Lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

We made a wish
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
And threw in a coin
And since that day
(Lo-o-ove)
Our hearts have been joined
So all you young lovers
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
Wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far
We'll go on dreaming of that golden day
And remember the fountain is not far away

We were young lovers
(Lo-o-o-overs)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love

[Spoken]
(Lo-o-ove)
We made a wish and threw in a coin
(Lo-o-ove)
And since that day, our hearts have been joined
(Lo-o-ove)
So all you young lovers wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far

Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love...

    When I was buying up Zappa vinyl in the 90s, this one always eluded me. It's good to hear it again, is there any way to hear this album in stereo with the original bass and drums/mix?

    T.... F....

    On the ''Greasy Love Songs'' compilation released in 2013, it's on Spotify.

  2. B.... w....

    These Mothers is crazy. You can tell by their clothes. One guy wears beads and they all smell bad. We were gonna get them for a dance after the basketball game but my best pal warned me you can never tell how many will show up...sometimes the guy in the fur coat doesn't show up and sometimes he does show up only he brings a big bunch of crazy people with him and they dance all over the place. None of the kids at my school like these Mothers...specially since my teacher told us what the words to their songs meant.

  3. Z.... F....

    doo wop

  4. r.... s....

    Don't get all mushy on me ? Your nose id tooo tooo big?

  5. L.... F....

    Remember, the Fountain is not far away.

    Fountain Of Love

    It was September, the leaves were gold
    That's when our hearts knew that story untold
    We were young lovers, strolling near
    The fountain of love, founttain of love

    Do you remember, I held you so near
    Our love's glowing ember so precious and dear
    We were young lovers, strolling near
    The fountain of love, the fountain of love
    Fountain of love, fountain of love

    We made a wish and threw in a coin
    And since that day our hearts have been joined
    So all you young lovers, wherever you are
    The fountain of love is not very far
    We'll go on dreaming of that golden day
    And remember the fountain is not far away

    We were young lovers strolling near
    The fountain of love, fountain of love
    Fountain of love, fountain of love

    (spoken)
    We made a wish and threw in a coin
    And since that day, our hearts have been joined
    So all you young lovers wherever you are
    The fountain of love is not very far
    Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
    Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
    Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
    Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
