KICKS (Fisher / Barr)
(Marvin Fisher / Michael Barr)

as recorded by June Christy
with Orchestra conducted by Pete Rugolo
1958


It's somebody that eyes me,
It's somebody that plies me,
It's somebody that tries me
That I like!

It's somebody that spoils me,
It's somebody that boils me,
It's somebody that foils me
That I like!

Now they all admire my Puritan endeavour,
Never have I ever sinned,
But if I decide I wanna show attention,
Then I'll throw convention to the wind!

It's somebody that thrills me,
It's somebody that chills me,
It's somebody that kills me that clicks,
And it has to be that way or else I don't get my kicks!

Now they all will try to cherish me for ever
In their not so clever way,
But it's hard to find the key to my ignition,
When my disposition makes me say

It's somebody that dares me,
It's somebody that snares me,
It's somebody that scares me that clicks,
And it has to be that way or else I don't get my kicks,
And it has to be that way or else I don't get my kicks!
