Lyrics
Why shouldn't I take a chance when romance pa*ses 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?
