According to Volume 2 of
Stanley Richards's
Great Musicals of the American Theatre (1976),
the lyrics written by Cole Porter
for Sophie Tucker, in "Leave It To Me,"
had one or two tiny little differences from what we hear
from Mary Martin and all the rest of the interpreters.

(Verse)
When Mummy in her sixteenth year
Was dreaming of romance a lot,
She thought that she was Guinevere
And ev'ry boy Sir Launcelot,
But now that Mummy's more mature
And knows her way about,
She doesn't b'lieve in "Vive l'amour"
For Mummy's found out --

(1st Refrain)
Most gentlemen don't like love, they just like to kick it around,
Most gentlemen can't take love, 'cause most gentlemen ain't that profound.
As Madam Sappho in some sonnet said,
"A slap and a tickle
Is all that the fickle
Male
Ever has in his head,"
For most gentlemen don't like love.
I've been in love,
So I know what I'm talking of
And oh, to my woe, I have found
They just like to kick it around.

(2nd Refrain)
Most gentlemen don't like love, they just like to kick it around,
Most gentlemen can't take love, 'cause most gentlemen ain't that profound.
So just remember when you get that glance,
A romp and a quickie
Is all little Dickie
Means when he mentions romance.

(this is broken off)
Now if some fine day your boy friend should say
He loves you forever and part with you never
Just push 'em out of the hay -- way
'Cause most gentlemen don't like love
They just like to kick it around.
