The Gal Who Invented Kissin'

I love the gal who invented kissin' I don't recall her name

But I do believe that gal should sit high up in the hall of fame

Until she came along just think what we were missin'

That's why today I'm shouting hooray for the gal who invented kissin'

She thought the fellows how to smooch instead of holdin' hands

She showed them how to steal a kiss like they do in foreign lands

Until she came along, just think what they were missin'

Love was very nice but as cold as ice 'til that gal invented kissin'

She showed the girls how to pucker up and roll their purty eyes

And she showed them how to kiss hello and how to kiss goodbye

Until she came along, just think what they were missin'

They could only cook or read a book 'til that gal invented kissin'

Mr. Edison he invented the lights, Mr. Bell, the telephone

And Columbus found America, their names are all well known

But 'til she came along, this world had somethin' missin'

And I'm tellin' you there was nothin' to do 'til that gal invented kissin'

She patented the kiss of fire and how to kiss goodnight

On every kind of hug and kiss, she holds the copyright

But if I had my wish, the only thing I'm wishin'

Is to make a date and stay out late with the gal who invented kissin'
