words and music by Cole Porter

Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
My story is much too sad to be told
But practically everything 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
Refrain
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 like a bop type refrain
I’m sure that if I heard even one riff
That would bore me terrifically 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 its clear to me
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
