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 sung

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

All debutantes say it's good

And every star out in far Hollywood

Seems to give it a try

So why shouldn't I?

All debutantes say it's good

And every star out in far Hollywood

Seems to give it a try

So why shouldn't I?
