I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Cole Porter in 1934, "i get a kick out of you" combines witty lyrics with sophisticated melody to explore the delight of romantic attraction. Its playful narrative has made it a hallmark of the American songbook.

The first recording, by Ethel Merman on Broadway in New York, 1934, showcased clear enunciation and rhythmic precision that emphasized the song’s clever lyricism. Its AABA form supports melodic embellishment and interpretive performance.

Over the decades, both vocalists and instrumentalists have maintained the song’s playful elegance, highlighting Porter's harmonic sophistication and lyrical wit.
