I really grew to appreciate the greasy songs of the 50's after listening to Frank Zappa's album "Crusin' With Ruben And The Jets". I know he had a genuine love for this genre but he always seem to making fun of it as well (in a lighthearted way). I could dig it. This particular tune always found it's way into my mind whenever couples were acting stupidly in love with one another. It just makes me laugh and dream.

Note: One of main influences on the Tabacco / Kearns 50's composition "The Drive In's On Fire" references Zappa's 50's song "Later That Night" from said album.

lyrics

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, fountain 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
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
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
