Relax for a moment my Jerry
Come out of your dark monastery
While Venus is beaming above.
Darling, let's talk about love.

Cole Porter
You're the pain in my —
The hurricane in my —
Supersensitive heart, dear.
Still I love you, I know,
And the reason is merely because
You irritate me so!

Cole Porter
There's no love song finer,
But how strange the change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye.

Cole Porter
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above.
Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

Appetizing young love for sale.

Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.

Follow me and climb the stairs …
Love for sale.

Have love affairs
And even camels,
We're merely mammals

Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

Cole Porter
It must be fun to be you
And play with love as you do
To treat each new romance
As merely one more dance
Or just another book to glance through
It must be fun to acquire
Whatever heart you desire,
And when you're bored with it
To tear it in two,
It must be fun to be you.

Cole Porter
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve this mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?

Be a clown, be a clown,
All the world loves a clown.
Act the fool, play the calf,
And you'll always have the last laugh.

Cole Porter
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love. I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it,
Even eagles as they fly do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

Cole Porter
You'd be so nice,
You'd be paradise
To come home to and love.

Cole Porter
Birds do it, bees do it,
Even educated fleas do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

Cole Porter
You are my fav'rite star,
My haven in heaven above,
You are ev'rything I love.

Cole Porter
Some Argentines, without means, do it,
People say, in Boston, even beans do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
