while singing nonsense songs to my dog a song popped into my head...?

Question

and which musical was this refrain from, it's driving me nuts:
"But I'm always true to you, darling,
in my fashion,
yes I'm always true to you, darling,
in my way"

There was some little turn about on it in the movie (probably a stage play first) where you presumed the guy was singing to his girl, later see is the girl singing to the guy...

I'm going to list this under dogs & not music, because dog people will understand singing to dogs :)

Answer 1

It's in Cole Porter's 'Kiss Me Kate', and I think your memory was subconsciously jogged by the lines just before it.

In full, the first verse goes:

If a custom-tailored vet
Asks me out for something wet
When the vet
Begins to pet
I cry "Hooray!"
But I'm always true to you, darling, in my fashion
Yes I'm always true to you, darling, in my way

Speaking as a dog myself, any song which features the word 'vet' more than once is generally bad news.

So either skip the first verse and just sing the refrain, or do what my owner does, which is to arrange for a live orchestra to play me instrumental versions of Iron Maiden songs.

RRRRRRRRRRRROCK ON!

Answer 2

I don't know what song that is but when my dog was a very small puppy he was afraid of the vacuum cleaner, so i picked him up and sang to him while I was vacuuming .I made up a song about not being afraid of the vacuum to the tune of You Are My Sunshine. today 5 years later my 100 lb doberman plays with the vacuum so when I use it I have to put him out side because he bites at it , paws it and barks.

Answer 3

The song is from Kiss Me Kate,
Cole Porter's musical play and movie.

Answer 5

L O L !! and I thought i was the only one!
when my dogs are pestering me, I sing,

You got food,
You got water
You got everthing you otter.

Or, when their just goofing off on walks..

Go pee pee
go poo poo
Whatever ya gotta do DO!

This makes me more patient, as it brings in humor, and more patience...especially when I try to enhance with more verses to the jingles...(oh, yeah..there are more..grin)

Answer 6

OK I Googled it and this is what I came up with. It's from the musical Kiss Me Kate:

Artist: Lyrics
Song: ALWAYS TRUE TO YOU IN MY FASHION Lyrics

BILL:
Why can't you behave?
Why can't you behave?
LOIS:
Tell me how can you be jealous
When you know, baby, I'm your slave?
I'm just mad for you,
And I'll always be,
But naturally

If a custom-tailored vet
Asks me out for something wet,
When the vet begins to pet, I cry "Hooray!"
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion,
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
BILL:
There's a lush from Baltimore,
Who is rich but such a bore,
LOIS:
When the bore fall on the floor, I let him lay.
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion,
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
BILL:
What about that Mister Thorne
Calls you up from night 'til morn?
LOIS:
Mister Thorne once cornered corn and that ain't hay.
Aha!
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion,
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
BILL:
So you're out with Mister Fritz
You were dining at the Ritz,
LOIS:
Mister Fritz is full of Schlitz and Schlitz must pay.
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion,
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
I could never curl my lip
At a dazzlin' diamond clip,
BILL:
S'pose the clip meant "let 'er rip,"
LOIS:
I'd not say "Nay!"
BILL:
But you're always true to me, darlin', in your fashion!
LOIS:
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
BILL:
Mister Harris, plutocrat,
Wants to give your cheek a pat,
LOIS:
If the Harris pat
Means a Paris hat,
Bébé, Oo-la-la!
Mais je suis toujour fidèle, darlin', in my fashion,
Oui, je suis toujour fidèle, darlin', in my way.
Mister Gable,
BILL:
You mean Clark?
LOIS:
Wants me on his boat to park,
If the gable boat
Means a sable coat,
BILL:
I know,
Anchors aweigh!
LOIS:
But I'm always true to you, darlin', in my fashion,
Yes, I'm always true to you, darlin', in my way.
