Cole Porter
Which?
Which is the right life
The simple or the night life?
When, pray, should one rise
At sunset or at sunrise?
Which should be upper
My breakfast or my supper?
Which is the right life
Which?
If the wood nymph left the park
Would Park Avenue excite her?
Would the glowworm trade her spark
For the latest Dunhill lighter?
Here's a question I would pose
Tell me which the sweeter smell makes
The aroma of the rose
Or the perfume that Chanel makes?
Which land is dreamier
Arcadia or Bohemia?
Who'll tell me the answer
The daisy or the dancer?
Which life is for me
The peaceful or the stormy?
Which is the right man
Walt Whitman or Paul Whiteman
Which?
Should I read Euripides or continue with The Graphic?
Hear the murmur of the breeze or the roaring of the traffic?
Should I make one man my choice
And regard divorce as treason
Or should I, like Peggy Joyce
Get a new one ev'ry season?
Which is the right life
The simple or the night life?
When, pray, should one rise
At sunset or at sunrise?
Which should be upper
My breakfast or my supper?
Which is the right life
Which?
