Why Shouldn't I 1935 Cole Porter 'Jubilee'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Aug 2003

All my life I've been so secluded,
Love has eluded me.
But from knowing secondhand
what I do of it,
I feel certain I could stand
a closer view of it;
Till today I studied love discreetly,
but now that I'm completely free,
I must find some kind persona grata
to give me data personally.

Why shouldn't I take a chance
when romance passes by,
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around,
when each age has a sage
who has found
that upon this earth love is
all that is really worth thinking of.
It must be fun, lots of fun
to be sure when day is done,
that the hour is coming when
you'll be kissed and then
you'll be kissed again,
all debutantes say it's good,
and ev'ry star out in far Hollywood
seems to give it a try,
so why shouldn't I?

Why shouldn't I take a chance
when romance passes by,
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around,
when each age has a sage
who has found
that upon this earth love is
all that is really worth thinking of.
It must be fun, lots of fun
to be sure when day is done,
that the hour is coming when
you'll be kissed and then
you'll be kissed again,
all debutantes say it's good,
and ev'ry star out in far Hollywood
seems to give it a try,
so why shouldn't I?
