how long has thie been going on

'neath the stars

at bazaars

often i've had to caress men

five or ten

dollars then

i'd collect from all those yes-men

don't be sad

i must add

that they meant no more than chess-men

darling

can't you see?

'twas for charity?

though these lips have made slips

it was never really serious

who'd have thought

i'd be brought to a state that's so delirious?

i could cry salty tears

where have i been all these years?

little wow

tell me now

how long has this been goin' on?

there were chills up my spine

and some thrills i can't define

listen sweet

i repeat

how long has this been goin' 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 goin' on?

kiss me twice

once more

thrice

make it four

what a break

for heaven's sake

how long has this been goin' on?
