Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mere alcohol,
Doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me, why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of you.
Some get a kick from cocaine,
I'm sure that if,
It would bore me terrifically,too,
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see you,
Standing there before me,
I get a kick though it's clear to see,
You obviously don't adore me.
Some get a kick in a plane,
Flying too high,
With some gal in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do,
But I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick, out of you.
The lyrics of "One / Finale" from the musical Company is a combination of several songs with different music themes, all focused on the central character Bobby. The part quoted above is a rendition of Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You," where Bobby seems to express his preferences for pleasure. The song is meant to show how Bobby does not derive joy from typical romantic gestures, alcohol, drugs, or thrill-seeking activities like flying in the air with a partner. Instead, he gets a kick every time he sees this person, even though they do not reciprocate the same feelings that he has for them.
Despite Bobby's claims that he does not derive pleasure from typical addictive activities, he still feels an insatiable desire for something or someone who may not give him the same level of care or attention. This is highlighted by the repeated phrase "I get a kick out of you," which assumes a sadder meaning about Bobby's inability to find true happiness. This phrase is also echoed by the other characters, who repeat similar patterns of seeking pleasure in lesser things or using them to avoid confronting deeper issues. The lyrics implicitly raise questions about the nature of happiness and true fulfillment, suggesting that the characters may be looking in the wrong places for what they truly need.
