I Get A Kick Out Of You

I Get A Kick Out Of You
music & lyric by Cole Porter

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 every time I see you're standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously don't adore me...

I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you...

(original version)
Until the day you came my way I got no joy from being alive.
But now that you have given a kick to my life I know that I'm slated to thrive...

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 when you look at me and whisper you adore me.

I get no kick in a plane.
I shouldn't care for those nights in the air that the fair Missus Lindbergh goes through,
Yet I get a kick out of you...
