Why Shouldn't I Songtext
von Anita O’Day

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 say to his 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 kissed again


All debutantes say it's good
And every 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 the age of the sage, I have 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 kissed again


All debutantes say it′s good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Gives it a try
So, oh, why shouldn't I?
