Amor by William Bolcom

This is one of my favourite cabaret songs and composers! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I was making it!
It wasn’t the policeman’s fault
In all the traffic roar
Instead of shouting “Halt!”
When he saw me, he shouted, “Amor
Amor
Amor
Amor.”
Even the ice cream man
(free ice creams by the score!)
Instead of shouting "Butter pecan!"
One look at me, he shouted, “Amor
Amor
Amor!”
All over town it went that way
Everybody took off the day
Even philosophers understood
How good was the good
‘Cause I looked so good!
The poor stopped taking less
The rich stopped needing more
Instead of saying “no” and “yes”
Both looking at me shouted “Amor!”
(scat break)
My stay in town was cut short
I was dragged to court
The judge said I disturbed the peace
And the jury gave him what for!
The judge raised his hand
And instead of desist and cease
Judgie came to the stand
Took my hand and whispered
“Amor
Amor
Amor
Amor!”
Night was turning into day
I walked alone away
(Never see that town again.)
But as I passed the church house door
Instead of singing “Amen”
The choir was singing, “Amor
Amor
Amor
Amor!”
