Tunie: I Get a Kick Out of You

A list of 18 words by reesetee.

About

Like Poetrie (thanks, uselessness), only these are lyrics.

For my favorite Porterite. :-)

I Get a Kick Out of You

by Cole Porter

(from Anything Goes, 1934)

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 ev'ry time I see

You're standing there before me.

I get a kick though it's clear to me

You obviously don't adore me.

I get no kick in a plane.

Flying too high with some guy in the sky

Is my idea of nothing to do,

Yet I get a kick out of you.

    This is awesome, reesetee! Thanks for sharing! You should add a definition for tunie, or I can. :-) I think I'll make a list of my own, if I can think of a good song to use.

    Thanks, u! Go ahead and add the definition if you'd like--it'd be better off in the same place as poetrie, don't you think?

    Any time we coin a new "-ie" word, it should be honored with its own definition page. I shall add it to my "Another Satisfied Customer" list henceforth.
