How Long Has This Been Going On

As a tot, when I trotted in little velvet panties

I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my aunties

Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante's

So my dear I swore

"Never, never more !"

On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out

Now, I find I was blind, and oh my! How I lost out!

I could cry salty tears

Where have I been all these years?

Little wow, tell me now:

How long has this been going on?

There were chills up my spine

And some thrills I can't define

Listen, sweet, I repeat:

How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt

Into Heaven I'm hurled!

I know how Columbus felt

Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more

What a dunce I was before

What a break! For Heaven's sake!

How long has this been going on?

Dear, when in your arms I creep

That divine rendezvous

Don't wake me, if I'm asleep

Let me dream that it's true!

Kiss me twice, then once more

That makes thrice, let's make it four!

What a break! For Heaven's sake!

How long has this been going on?

How long has this, been going on?
