Du Barry Was a Lady - But in the Morning, No! Lyrics

1939 Broadway
Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical - But in the Morning, No! Lyrics


The song is written by Cole Porter.

SHE: Love affairs among the gentility
Hit the rocks with great agility
Either because of income or incompatibility
HE: We've adjusted our finances
You run mine and I run France's
So there's only one question that's hot
Will we have fun or not?

SHE: Are you fond of riding, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I'm fond of riding, Dear
But in the morning, no
SHE: Are you good at shooting, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I'm good at shooting, Dear
But in the morning, no
When the dawn's early light
Comes to crucify my night
That's the time when I'm in low
SHE: Are you fond of boxing, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I'm fond of boxing, Dear
But in the morning, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no!

SHE: Do you like the mountains, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I like the mountains, Dear
But in the morning, no
SHE: Are you good at climbing, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I'm good at climbing, Dear
But in the morning, no
When the light of the day
Comes and drags me from the hay
That's the time when I'm in low
SHE: Have you tried Pike's Peak, my Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I've tried Pike's Peak, my Dear
But in the morning, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no

HE: Are you fond of swimming, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
SHE: Yes, I'm fond of swimming, Dear
But in the morning, no
HE: Can you do the crawl, my Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
SHE: Yes, I can do the crawl, my Dear
But in the morning, no
When the sun through the blind
Starts to burn my poor behind
That's the time when I'm in low
HE: Do you use the breast stroke, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
SHE: Yes, I use the breast stroke, Dear
But in the morning, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no!

SHE: Are you fond of Hot Springs, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I'm fond of Hot Springs, Dear
But in the morning, no
SHE: Do you like Point Comfort, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I like old Point Comfort, Dear
But in the morning, no
When my maid toddles in
With my orange juice and gin
That's the time when I'm in low
SHE: Do you like Mi-ami, Dear?
Kindly tell me, if so
HE: Yes, I like your-ami, Dear
But in the morning, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no!

Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical Lyrics

When Love Beckoned
But in the Morning, No!
Do I Love You?
Give Him the Ooh-La-La
Well, Did You Evah!
It Was Written in the Stars
Katie Went to Haiti
