Isn't It Romantic?
Steve Tyrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isn't it romantic
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love

Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this
Isn't it romantic
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love perchance
Isn't it romance?

(Orchestral Interlude)

Isn't it romantic
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore
Isn't it romantic
While I sit around, my love can scrub the floor
She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack
And when I take a shower, she can scrub my back

Now, isn't that romantic
On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup
Kiddies are romantic
And if we don't fight, we soon will have a troupe
We'll help the population




It's a duty that we owe to dear old France
Isn't it romance?
