How Long Has This Been Going

How Long Has This Been Going - Ella Fitzgerald

'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-down 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

Once more thrice make it four

What a break For Heaven's sake

How long has this been going on
