Kiss Me, Kate Songtext
von Cole Porter

She is my goods, my chattels
My horse, my ox, my ass, mine anything
Touch her whoever dares

So kiss me, Kate, thou lovely loon
′Ere we start on our honeymoon
So kiss me, Kate, darling devil devine
For now thou shall ever be mine
I'll never be thine!

So kiss me, Kate, (no!) thou lovely loon (no!)
′Ere we start (nay!) on our honeymoon (away!)
So kiss me, Kate, (nay!) darling devil devine
Kindly drop dead!


For now thou shall ever be
Now I shall never be
Now thou shall ever be
Now thou shall never be
Thine
Yes mine!
Not thine!
Yes mine!
You swine!
Yes mine!
(She called him a swine!) Yes mine!

So kiss me, Kate
I'll crack your plate!
Oh, please don't pout
I′ll knock you out
My priceless prise
I′ll black you eyes!
Oh, kiss me quick
Your rump I'll kick!


Oh kiss me
Dounder!
He′s not her dish
He's not her dish
Oh kiss me
Flouder!
A type of fish
She would not wish
Oh kiss me
Dastard!
What′s that we heard?
What's that we heard?
Oh kiss me
Bastard!

Oh, Katie, that′s a naughty word, so kiss me!
Kiss him!
Kiss me!
Kiss him, (kiss me) kiss him, kiss him, kiss him!
Never, never, never
Never

Never

Never, never, never
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never

Kiss him, Kate, kiss him
Kiss him, Kate, kiss him
Kiss him, Kate, kiss him
Kiss him, Kate, kiss him
Kiss him, Kate, kiss him, Kate
Kiss him, Kate, kiss him, Kate
Kiss...
No!
Him...
No!
Ah, kiss him!
Kate!
