I Worship You 1929 Cole Porter 'Fifty Million Frenchmen'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 Aug 2003

Back in the days when Greece was mighty,
men used to worship Aphrodite.
When the Phoenicians threw a party
the driest host drank a toast to Astarte.
The big Egyptian sacrifices
were made to please the goddess Isis,
and one of my most ancient vices
is my worship of you.

I don't love you, dear;
I swear it's true.
I don't love you, dear;
I worship you.
Must I modify my point of view?
Why should I be odd if I worship you?
On that sacred day when you become mine,
somewhere, far away
I'll build you a shrine.
There I'll put you, dear,
and when I do,
I'll get on my knees and worship you.

I don't love you, dear;
I swear it's true.
I don't love you, dear;
I worship you.
Must I modify my point of view?
Why should I be odd if I worship you?
On that sacred day when you become mine,
somewhere, far away
I'll build you a shrine.
There I'll put you, dear,
and when I do,
I'll get on my knees and worship you.
