Pousse L'Amour
Tape Five Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First: take greatest care!
Get a clean machine,
To mix the finest drink on the scene:

Pour some Maraschino,
Some yolk on a spoon
Take Vanilla Cordial
Put the brandy on top.

Pousse L'Amour, sweet and sour.
Pousse L'Amour, this potion turns me on.
Pousse L'Amour, serve me more!
Pousse L'Amour, I'm getting love crazed.

Here's another receipt
To create that special love fluid.
Take the right ingredients
And layer one on top of the other.
Slip it into the glass
Pour in some Benedictine,
And some Brandy on top.
Chorus 3 ad lib + tromb. fills
Pousse L'amour.
More amor'





Pousse L'Amour, don't need no more!
Pousse L'Amour, now I'm in a love craze!

The chorus adds to this, saying that the drink is sweet and sour and turns the drinker on, causing them to become love-crazed. The second set of lyrics gives another recipe for the drink, including Benedictine and brandy.

The repeated refrain of "Pousse L'Amour" (which translates to "push love") suggests that this drink is designed to push the limits of passion and desire, and is a way to indulge in hedonistic pleasures.
