Kiss Me Kate
WHY CAN'T YOU BEHAVE?
LOIS: Why can't you behave?
Oh why can't you behave?
After all the things you told me
And the promises that you gave
Oh, why can't you behave?

Why can't you be good?
And do just as you should
Won't you turn that new leaf over
So your baby can be your slave
Oh why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old home town
Where we two can go and try settling down
There I'll care for you forever
'Cause you're all in the world I crave
OR
(At least till you dig my grave)
Oh, why can't you behave

BILL: Gee I need ya kid
LOIS: I always knew you did
But why can't you behave?
Lyrics and music by: Cole Porter
