Cole Porter: Selected Lyrics

Of the masters of twentieth-century American songwriting, Cole Porter was one of the few who wrote both music and lyrics, and, even in the absence of his melodies, his words distill an unmistakable mixture of poignancy and wit that marks him as a genius of light verse. Selected from over eight hundred songs, here are Porter''s finest flights of invention, lyrics that are an indelible part of American culture: ''Let''s Do It,'' ''Love for Sale,'' ''I Get a Kick Out of You,'' ''Anything Goes,'' ''In the Still of the Night,'' ''It''s All Right With Me,'' and dozens more.
