Title:  I get a kick out of "ick"

Composer:  Joe Raposo ?

Lead vocals:  Rita Moreno

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  Rita as a little girl on a vaudeville stage with a giant "ick".

[RM]  I get a kick out of "ick".  It worries me sick

To think of going through the day without an i-c-k.

I get a kick out of "ick".  Why, I couldn't play a trick,

Or even throw a brick without an "ick".

Ick.  Ick.  Rick-a-tick-tick.

Oh, I get a kick out of "ick".

I get a kick out of "ick".  Without an "ick",

It could snow and snow and snow, and never ever get slick.

I get a kick out of "ick".  I'll always stick with "ick".

I love the way it tickles.  I love it in dill pickles.

Ick.  Ick.  A-rick-a-tick-tick.  I get a kick out of "ick".

I get a kick.  Yes, I get a kick.  Oh, I get a kick.  Well, I get a kick.

And I get a kick.  Yes, I get a kick.  Yes, I get a kick out of "ick".
