Cole Porter - Why Am I So Gone (About that Gal)? Lyrics

1957 American musical comedy film
Cole Porter's Les Girls - Why Am I So Gone (About that Gal)? Lyrics

BARRY:
I'm flippin' for a chick that I just can't forget

BIKERS:
Huh?

BARRY:
It turns out she's a blonde.
I like 'em jet brunette

BIKERS:
What?

BARRY:
So why am I so gone about that gal?
Her figure is a poem when she starts to dance

BIKER 1:
I'm listenin'!

BARRY:
But not for any cat who's seekin' plain romance
So why

BIKER 2:
I don't know why

BARRY:
Am I so gone about that gal?
I take her out to dinner once, you know?
Real nice
Hey, I even put on a suit

BIKER 3:
A whole suit, boss?

BARRY:
Yeah, a whole suit
But when I try to kiss her,
Then what do I get?

BIKER 4:
What do you get?

BARRY:
An eye that's a beaut!

BIKERS:
Get outta here!

BARRY:
Yet every time she's near me,
I begin to ache
What difference if she belts me
If I'm on the make?
So why

BIKER 5:
Oh, man!

BARRY:
Am I so gone about that gal?
