How Long Has This Been Going On? [#] Lyrics
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?
Listen, you, tell me true:
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 again
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?
I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my aunties
Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante's
"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!
Where have I been all these years?
Listen, you, tell me true:
How long has this been going on?
And some thrills I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat:
How long has this been going on?
Into Heaven I'm hurled!
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
What a dunce I was before
What a break! For Heaven's sake!
How long has this been going on?
That divine rendezvous
Don't wake me, if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true!
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?
