You know, darling why, 
So in love with you am I. 
In love with the night mysterious 
The night when you first were there. 
In love with my joy delirious 
When I knew that you might care. 
So taunt me and hurt me, 
Deceive me, desert me, 
I'm yours 'til I die, 
So in love, 
So in love, 
So in love with you, my love, am I. 
 
So taunt me and hurt me, 
Deceive me, desert me,

WHY CAN'T YOU BEHAVE?
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

LOIS LANE: 
Why can't you behave? 
Oh, why can't you behave? 
After all the things you told me 
And the promises that you gave, 
Oh, why can't you behave? 
Why can't you be good? 
And do just as you should? 
Won't you turn that new leaf over 
So your baby can be your slave? 
Oh, why can't you behave? 
 
There's a farm I know near my old home town, 
Where we two can go and try settlin' down. 
There I'll care for you forever, 
Well, at least 'til you dig my grave. 
Oh, why can't you behave? 
 
BILL: 
Gee, I need you, kid! 
 
LOIS LANE: 
I always knew you did, 
But why can't you behave?

WE OPEN IN VENICE
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

BIANCA, LUCENTIO, GREMIO & HORTENSIO: 
A troupe of strolling players are we, 
Not stars like L.B. Mayer's are we, 
But just a simple band 
Who roams about the land 
Dispensing fol-de-rol frivolity. 
Mere folk who give distraction are we, 
No Theater Guild attraction are we, 
But just a crazy group 
That never ceases to troop 
Around the map of little Italy. 
 
We open in Venice, 
We next play Verona, 
Then on to Cremona. 
Lotsa laughs in Cremona. 
Our next jump is Parma, 
That dopey, mopey menace, 
Then Mantua, then Padua, 
Then we open again, where? 
 
We open in Venice, 
We next play Verona, 
Then on to Cremona. 
Lotsa bars in Cremona. 
Our next jump is Parma, 
That beerless, cheerless menace, 
Then Mantua, then Padua, 
Then we open again, where? 
 
We open in Venice, 
We next play Verona, 
Then on to Cremona. 
Lotsa dough in Cremona. 
Our next jump is Parma, 
That stingy, dingy menace, 
Then Mantua, then Padua, 
Then we open again, where? 
 
We open in Venice, 
We next play Verona, 
Then on to Cremona. 
Lotsa quail in Cremona. 
Our next jump is Parma, 
That heartless, tartless menace, 
Then Mantua, then Padua, 
Then we open again, where? 
In Venice.

I'VE COME TO WIVE IT WEALTHILY IN PADUA
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

PETRUCHIO: 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua, 
If wealthily then happily in Padua. 
If my wife has a bag of gold, 
Do I care if the bag be old? 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
ENSEMBLE: 
He's come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
I heard you mutter, "Zounds, a loathsome lad you are." 
I shall not be disturbed one bit 
If she be but a quarter-wit, 
If she only can talk of clo'es 
While she powders her goddamned nose, 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
ENSEMBLE: 
He's come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
I heard you say, "Gadzooks, completely mad you are!" 
'Twouldn't give me the slightest shock 
If her knees now and then should knock, 
If her eye were a wee bit crossed, 
Were she wearing the hair she'd lost, 
Still the damsel I'll make my dame, 
In the dark they are all the same, 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
ENSEMBLE: 
He's come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
I heard you say, "Good gad, but what a cad you are!" 
Do I mind if she fret and fuss, 
If she fume like Vesuvius, 
If she roar like a winter breeze 
On the rough Adriatic seas, 
If she screams like a teething brat, 
If she scratch like a tiger cat, 
If she fight like a raging boar, 
I have oft stuck a pig before, 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
ENSEMBLE: 
With a hunny, nunny, nunny, 
And a hey, hey, hey, 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
Not to mention money, money 
For a rainy day, 
 
PETRUCHIO & ENSEMBLE: 
I (He's) come to wive it wealthily in Padua.

He's come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
I heard you say, "Good gad, but what a cad you are!" 
Do I mind if she fret and fuss, 
If she fume like Vesuvius, 
If she roar like a winter breeze 
On the rough Adriatic seas, 
If she screams like a teething brat, 
If she scratch like a tiger cat, 
If she fight like a raging boar, 
I have oft stuck a pig before, 
I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua. 
 
ENSEMBLE: 
With a hunny, nunny, nunny, 
And a hey, hey, hey, 
 
PETRUCHIO: 
Not to mention money, money 
For a rainy day, 
 
PETRUCHIO & ENSEMBLE: 
I (He's) come to wive it wealthily in Padua.

I HATE MEN
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

KATHARINE: 
I hate men. 
I can't abide 'em even now and then. 
Than ever marry one of them, I'd rest a virgin rather, 
For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother. 
Of course, I'm awfully glad that Mother had to marry Father, 
But I hate men. 
Of all the types I've ever met within our democracy, 
I hate most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy, 
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie. 
Oh, I hate men! 
I hate men. 
Their worth upon this earth I dinna ken. 
Avoid the trav'ling salesman though a tempting 
Tom he may be, 
From China he will bring you jade and perfume from Araby, 
But don't forget 'tis he who'll have the fun and thee the baby, 
Oh I hate men. 
If thou shouldst wed a businessman, be wary, oh, be wary. 
He'll tell you he's detained in town on business necessary, 
His bus'ness is the bus'ness which he gives his secretary, 
Oh I hate men! 
I hate men 
Though roosters they, I will not play the hen. 
If you espouse and older man through girlish optimism, 
He'll always stay at home at night and make no criticism, 
Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism. 
Oh, I hate men. 
From all I've read, alone in bed, from A to Zed, about 'em. 
Since love is blind, then from the mind, all womankind should rout 'em, 
But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without 'em? 
Still, I hate men!

WERE THINE THAT SPECIAL FACE
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

PETRUCHIO: 
Were thine that special face 
The face that fills my dreaming, 
Were thine the rhythm'd grace, 
Were thine the form so lithe and slender, 
Were thine the arms so warm, so tender, 
Were thine the kiss divine, 
Were thine the love for me, 
The love which fills my dreaming, 
When all these charms are thine 
Then you'll be mine, all mine. 
 
I wrote a poem 
In classic style. 
I wrote it with my tongue in my cheek 
And my lips in a smile. 
But of late my poem 
Has a meaning so new, 
For to my surprise 
It suddenly applies 
To my darling--to you. 
 
Were thine that special face 
The face that feels my dreaming, 
Were thine the rhythm'd grace, 
Were thine the form so lithe and slender, 
Were thine the arms so warm, so tender, 
Were thine the kiss divine, 
Were thine the love for me, 
The love which fills my dreaming, 
When all these charms are thine 
Then you'll be mine, all mine. 
When all these charms are thine 
Then you'll be mine, all mine.

WHERE IS THE LIFE THAT LATE I LED?
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

PETRUCHIO: 
Since I reached the charming age of puberty 
And began to finger feminine curls, 
Like a show that's typically Shuberty 
I have always a multitude of girls, 
But now that a married man, at last, am I, 
How aware of my dear, departed past am I. 
 
Where is the life that late I led? 
Where is it now? Totally dead. 
Where is the fun I used to find? 
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind. 
A married life may all be well, 
But raising an heir 
Could never compare 
With raising a bit of hell, 
So I repeat what first I said, 
Where is the life that late I led? 
 
In dear Milano, where are you, Momo, 
Still selling those pictures of the Scriptures in the Duomo? 
And, Carolina, where are you, Lina, 
Still peddling your pizza in the streets o' Taormina? 
And in Firenze, where are you, Alice, 
Still there in your pretty, itty-bitty Pitti Palace? 
And sweet Lucretia, so young and gay-ee? 
What scandalous doin's in the ruins of Pompeii! 
 
Where is the life that late I led? 
Where is it now? Totally dead. 
Where is the fun I used to find? 
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind. 
The marriage game is quite all right, 
Yes, during the day 
It's easy to play 
But, oh, what a bore at night, 
So I repeat what first I said 
Where is the life that late I? 
 
Where is Rebecca, my Becki-weckio, 
Again is she cruising that amusing Ponte Vecchio? 
Where is Fedora, the wild virago? 
It's lucky I missed her gangster sister from Chicago. 
Where is Venetia, who loved to chat so, 
Could still she be drinkin' in her stinkin' pink palazzo? 
And lovely Lisa, where are you, Lisa? 
You gave a new meaning to the leaning tow'r of Pisa. 
 
Where is the life that late I led? 
Where is it now? Totally dead. 
Where is the fun I used to find? 
Where has it gone? Gone with the wind. 
I've oft been told of nuptial bliss, 
But what do you do, 
A quarter to two, 
With only a shrew to kiss? 
So I repeat what first I said, 
Where is the life that late I led?

ALWAYS TRUE TO YOU IN MY FASHION
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

LOIS: 
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 planing 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, mean 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. 
 
From Ohio Mister Thorne 
Calls me up from night 'til morn, 
Mister Thorne once cornered corn and that ain't hay. 
Aha! 
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 Harris, plutocrat, 
Wants to give my cheek a pat, 
If the Harris pat 
Means a Paris hat, 
Bébé, Oo-la-la! 
Mais je suis toujour fidèle, darlin', in my fashion, 
Oui, je suis toujour fidèle, darlin', in my way

BRUSH UP YOUR SHAKESPEARE
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

MOBSTERS: 
The girls today in society 
Go for classical poetry, 
So to win their hearts one must quote with ease 
Aeschylus and Euripides. 
But the poet of them all 
Who will start 'em simply ravin' 
Is the poet people call 
The bard of Stratford-on-Avon. 
 
Brush up your Shakespeare, 
Start quoting him now. 
Brush up your Shakespeare 
And the women you will wow. 
Just declaim a few lines from "Othella" 
And they think you're a helluva fella. 
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er 
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer , 
If she fights when her clothes you are mussing, 
What are clothes? "Much Ado About Nussing." 
Brush up your Shakespeare 
And they'll all kowtow. 
 
With the wife of the British embessida 
Try a crack out of "Troilus and Cressida," 
If she says she won't buy it or tike it 
Make her tike it, what's more, "As You Like It." 
If she says your behavior is heinous 
Kick her right in the "Coriolanus." 
Brush up your Shakespeare 
And they'll all kowtow, 
And they'll all kowtow, 
And they'll all kowtow.

I'M ASHAMED THAT WOMEN ARE SO SIMPLE
by Kiss Me, Kate Original Broadway Cast

KATAHARINE: 
SPOKEN 
I am ashamed the women a so simple 
To offer war where they should kneel for peace, 
Or seek to rule, supremacy, and sway 
When they are bound to serve, love and obey. 
Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth, 
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world, 
But that our soft conditions and our hearts 
Should well agree with our external parts? 
So hold your temper, wife, and meekly put 
Your hand 'neath the sole of your husband's foot, 
In token of which duty, if he please, 
My hand is ready, 
Ready, 
May it do him ease.

Back to: Kiss Me, Kate

Kiss Me, Kate Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Kiss Me, Kate is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter and a book by Bella and Samuel Spewack. The story involves the production of a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and the conflict on and off-stage between Fred Graham, the show's director, producer, and star, and his leading lady, his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi. A secondary romance concerns Lois Lane, the actress playing Bianca, and her gambler boyfriend, Bill, who runs afoul of some gangsters. The original production starred Alfred Drake, Patricia Morison, Lisa Kirk and Harold Lang.

Kiss Me, Kate was Porter's response to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and other integrated musicals; it was the first show he wrote in which the music and lyrics were firmly connected to the script. The musical premiered in 1948 and proved to be Porter's only show to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway. In 1949, it won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.
