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 sage who has 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 you'll be kissed again
So I feel that it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I
But from knowing second hand what I do of it
I feel certain I could stand a closer view of it
So I feel that 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 was written by Cole Porter.
