Cole Porter - Always True to You In My Fashion Lyrics

Oh, Bill,
Why can’t you behave,
Why can’t you behave?
How in hell can you be jealous
When you know, baby, I’m your slave?
I’m just mad for you,
And I’ll always be,
But naturally

If a custom-tailored vet
Asks me out for something wet,
When the vet begins to pet, I cry “Hooray!”
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
I enjoy a tender pass
By the boss of Boston, Mass.,
Though his pass is middle-class and notta Backa Bay.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
There’s a madman known as Mack
Who is planning to attack,
If his mad attack means a Cadillac, okay!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion,
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.

I’ve been asked to have a meal
By a big tycoon in steel,
If the meal includes a deal, accept I may.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
I could never curl my lip
To a dazzlin’ diamond clip,
Though the clip meant “let ‘er rip,” I’d not say “Nay!”
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
There’s an oil man known as Tex
Who is keen to give me checks.
And his checks, I fear, means that sex is here to stay.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.

There’s a wealthy Hindu priest
Who’s a wolf, to say the least,
When the priest goes too far east, I also stray.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
There’s a lush from Portland, Ore.,
Who is rich, but sich a bore,
When the bore falls on the floor, I let him lay
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
Mister Harris, plutocrat,
Wants to give my cheek a pat,
If the Harris pat
Means a Paris hat,
Bebe, Oo-la-la!
Mais, je suis toujours fidele, darlin’, in my fashion,
Oui, je suis toujours fidele, darlin’ in my way.

From Ohio Mister Thorn
Calls me up from night ‘til morn,
Mister Thorn once cornered corn and that ain’t hay.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
From Milwaukee Mister Fritz
Often moves me to the Ritz,
Mister Fritz is full of Schlitz and full of play.
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.
Mister Gable, I mean Clark,
Wants me on his boat to park,
If the Gable boat means a sable coat,
Anchors aweigh!
But I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my fashion
Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin’, in my way.

Cole Porter Songs Lyrics

I Am Loved
Paris Loves Lovers
All of You
You're Just Too, Too
You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To
Something for the Boys
Hey, Good Lookin'
I Love You
Count Your Blessings
From This Moment On
I've Still Got My Health
Let's Be Buddies
Fresh as a Daisy
I'm Throwing a Ball Tonight
Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please
I've Come To Wive It Wealthily In Padua
I Hate Men
Where Is The Life That Late I Led?
Always True to You In My Fashion
I Am Ashamed That Women Are So Simple
Brush Up Your Shakespeare
You've Got That Thing
The Tale of the Oyster
I Worship You
The Laziest Gal In Town
In the Still of the Night
Looking At You
What Is This Thing Called Love?
They All Fall In Love
You Do Something to Me
Old-Fashioned Garden
I'm In Love Again
Don't Look at Me That Way
Miss Otis Regrets
The Leader of a Big Time Band
Where, Oh, Where
Is It the Girl (Or Is It the Gown)?
I've a Shooting Box in Scotland
Wunderbar
So In Love
Red, Hot and Blue
Ridin' High
It's De-Lovely
Ours
Down in the Depths (On the 90th Floor)
Let's Misbehave
All Through the Night
I Get a Kick Out Of You
I Love Paris
Anything Goes
Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love
