Tunie: I Get a Kick Out of You

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
Like Poetrie (thanks, uselessness), only these are lyrics.

For my favorite Porterite. :-)

I Get a Kick Out of You
by Cole Porter
(from Anything Goes, 1934)

My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically ev'rything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face.

I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of you?
Some get a kick from cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrific'ly too
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick ev'ry time I see
You're standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to me
You obviously don't adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks for adding tunie!

Any time we coin a new "-ie" word, it should be honored with its own definition page. I shall add it to my "Another Satisfied Customer" list henceforth.

Thanks, u! Go ahead and add the definition if you'd like--it'd be better off in the same place as poetrie, don't you think?

This is awesome, reesetee! Thanks for sharing! You should add a definition for tunie, or I can. :-) I think I'll make a list of my own, if I can think of a good song to use.
