Lyrics ↗ All songs A–Z

Cole Porter composed this song for the musical Leave It to Me!, which debuted in November 1938. Mary Martin originated the role, performing it as her character Dolly Winslow, a young woman supported by a wealthy newspaper publisher. The musical number features Dolly at a Siberian railway station, wearing a fur coat and performing a striptease while singing to surrounding men.

The song's lyrics center on a woman expressing her romantic loyalty to her wealthy patron while asserting her freedom to engage in harmless flirtation with other men without deeper romantic commitment.
