Let the sunshine, Let the sunshine in.

When the moon is in the seventh house

Let the sunshine.
Let the sunshine in.

Harmony and understanding.
Sympathy and trust abounding.

It's the dawning of the age of aquarius

This is a song that is so romantic and then you get to the chorus: Working on a groovy thing. Who would actually say that to the one they love?

"One Less Bell To Answer" was a top five hit for the Fifth Dimension in 1972 and was the follow up to the 1971 hit "Last Night (I Didn't Get To Sleep At All)" Both songs came during the group's major easy listening period when singer Marilyn McCoo took center stage and nearly was singing solo. (McCoo would find later success in a duet with her husband -- and fellow Dimension singer -- Billy Davis, Jr. with the 1977 #1 hit, "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)" and later as the host of the "Solid Gold" TV show). "One Less Bell To Answer" was also written by the pop power duo writing team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

In the winter of 1968, "Paper Cup" was the third top ten hit for the Fifth Dimension after "Up Up And Away" and "Go Where You Wanna Go". After the success of "Paper Cup", the Fifth Dimension would delve into psychedelic rock-soul-pop with such hits as "Stone Soul Picnic" and their 1969 #1 hit remake/medley of the Broadway musical "Hair" songs, "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In The Flesh Failures".
