Finally, The FULL Lyrics to “Love, American Style”

Posted by dailyheights on Wednesday 27 July 2005 at 6:42 pm

cowsills RM-Prof2.jpg“Love, American Style” is a great song by The Cowsills, a band much better known for recording the song “Hair.”

The “Love, American Style” song was the theme for a TV show of the same name name. According to TV.com, the hour-long show debuted on ABC in the fall of 1969 with “stories about common people finding love in all walks of life. Each hour-long show would give us either one, two, three, or four stories of love.”

THE PROBLEM: The full lyrics to this song do not seem to exist online, even on the Cowsills’ own website. At best, you can find a transcription of the ~30 seconds used as the intro to the TV show. So as a public service, Daily Heights presents the only page on the Internet where you can find the full lyrics to “Love, American Style.” Including chords. After the break.

Love, American Style

La-hove, love, … (clap) la-ha-hooove …
Love, American style, truer than the red, white and blue
Love, American style, that’s me and you
And on a star-spangled night my love, (My love come to me)…

MTA: FCR Deal is Ratner-riffic!

“The 11-1 vote allows Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials to seek more money from developer Bruce Ratner for the Atlantic Avenue site, giving them 45 days to reach a new agreement … If the deal isn’t struck in that time, MTA officials could return to discussions with the rival developer, the Extell Development Co.”
