Marc Shaiman - Here’s to Love [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Spoken Intro)
[ANNOUNCER]
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the battle of the sexes is over. Don't believe me? Here's the proof! Please welcome the co-authors of the new book, "Here's to Love," Mrs. Barbara Novak-Block and Mr. Catcher Block

(Chorus 1)
[CATCHER]
Barbara, I'd like to propose a toast
To the topic I dig the most

[BARBARA]
Catch, let me dust off my loving cup

[BOTH]
Hey bartender, fill 'er up!

[BARBARA]
Look how the neon starts to flicker

[CATCHER]
Love's like a shot, but works much quicker

[BARBARA]
And you're a man who can hold his liquor

[BOTH]
Cheers, here's to love!

[BARBARA]
I'm an Old Fashioned and you're the cherry

[CATCHER]
I've got a thirst that's legendary

[BARBARA]
That's why I fired your secretary

[BOTH]
Cheers, here's to love!

[CATCHER]
Life's a martini

[BARBARA]
And you're the shaker

[CATCHER]
And baby, I sure pack a punch

[BARBARA]
You make Dean Martin look like a Quaker

[CATCHER]
But now it's only you for dinner

[BARBARA]
Breakfast

[CATCHER]
And lunch
I hear the march that's calling for us

[BARBARA]
We'll walk down the aisle to an angel's chorus

[CATCHER]
I'll be your Rock if you'll be my Doris

[BOTH]
Sweet heavens above!

[BARBARA]
Why is the waiter smiling at us?

[CATCHER]
He knows what we're thinking of
Oh, can the tears

[BOTH]
Cheers, baby here's to love!

(Chorus 2)
[BARBARA]
You've got the lips to wet my whistle

[CATCHER]
If that doesn't getcha, maybe this'll

[BARBARA]
Cupid just launched a guided missile

[BOTH]
Cheers, here's to love!

[BARBARA]
Your eyes are so intoxicating

[CATCHER]
Bottoms up, babe, let's get to mating

[BARBARA]
I'll bet it bears reiterating

[BOTH]
Cheers, here's to love!
Though it ain't New Year's, pop the champagne
And let's take a spin on the floor

[CATCHER]
Your moves are good

[BARBARA]
I'm feelin' no pain

[BOTH]
So let's pay the check and slip out the back door!
We took Manhattan without the bitters
We're stayin' put, last call's for quitters
Soon it will be just babysitters

[CATCHER]
'Cause this hawk's now a dove
Baby, the cab is blowin' its horn

[BARBARA]
But I can't find my hat and my glove

[CATCHER]
Oh, can the tears

[BOTH]
Cheers, baby here's to love!

(Spoken outro)
[CATCHER]
Here's mud in your eye!

[BARBARA]
Here's lookin' at you, kid!

[CATCHER]
This is to put hairs on your chest, not that I'd want that

[BOTH]
Here's to love
