(from The Memory of All That: The Life of George Gershwin by Joan Peyser)

My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything
Leaves me totally cold.

The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face.

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true

That I get a kick
Out of you

Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too

Yet I get a kick out of you

I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to me you obviously don't
Adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high
With some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do

Yet I get a kick
Out of you

(I really mean it)

Yes. . .

I

get

a

kick

out

of

you.

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book

It took me years to write, will you take a look
