Cole Porter
Always True to You in My Fashion
[Verse 1]
If a custom tailored vet
Asks me out for something wet
When the vet begins to pet, I cry, "Hooray"
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Verse 2]
I've been asked to have a meal
By a big tycoon in steel
If the meal includes a deal, accept I may
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Verse 3]
There's an oil man known as Tex
Who is keen to give me checks
And his checks, I fear, means that Tex is here to stay
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
From Ohio, Mr. Thorne
Calls me up from night till morn
Mr. Thorne once cornered corn and that ain't hay
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Verse 5]
From Milwaukee, Mr. Fritz
Often dines me at the Ritz
Mr. Fritz invented Schlitz and Schlitz must pay
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Verse 6]
Mr. Harris Plutocrat
Wants to give my cheek a pat
If the Harris pat means a Paris hat, okay
[Refrain]
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way
[Outro]
I'm always true to you, darlin', in my old, old fashion way
