Why Can’t I? 
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day & Martha Raye



(DD)
Feeling the way I do
I’d like to say I do
Heaving a heavenly sigh
Everybody has someone, why can’t I?

(MR) 
You’d like to say I do
I’d like to say it, too
Nature is hard to deny
Even old maids find a burglar
Well, why can’t I?

(DD) 
Should girls be good girls? – I think they should
(MR) 
Well then, I, I need a good man to make me be good
Ho, ho, ho
(DD) 
Two feet are ever cold
(MR) 
Four feet are never cold…
…Well, I only mean to imply
(DD) 
Everybody has someone
(Both) 
Everybody has someone

(MR) Romeo had Juliet
(DD) Hero had Leander
(MR) Every heffer has her bull
(DD) And every goose her gander
(MR) Every stallion has his flea
(DD) And every nanny goat has her belee
(MR) Ducks have drakes
(DD) And lambs have ewes
(Both) All the best things come in twos
Everybody has someone 
Why can’t I?
