I Get A Kick Out Of You (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: The Beat Of My Heart - 1957)

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 swinging 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 like a bop-type refrain
I'm sure that if I even one riff
It would bore me terrifically, too
Yet I get a kick out of you

I get a kick every time I see
You 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
