Lorelei

Lorelei - Lonnie Donegan

I kissed a girl in burma

In a town they called rangoon

Her lips were hot as curry

In the heat of the afternoon

Her kisses were so spicy

I thought my lips would fry

But i never knew

What kissing was till i kissed lorelei

Loerelei lorelei

I kissed a girl in africa

I only had a hope

And every time

I kissed back my ears would turn to soap

She kissed me oceans deeply

And she kissed me mountains high

But i never knew

What kissing was till i kissed lorelei

Loerelei lorelei

I kissed a girl in london town

Right underneath big ben

And as our lips were

Touching the clock was striking ten

She kissed me there

In april and it lasted till july

But i never knew

What kissing was till i kissed lorelei

Loerelei

I kissed a girl in the holy land

In the sea of galilee

She fed me dates

And olives underneath a lemon tree

She kissed me till

My sunburnt lips were parched hot and dry

But i never knew

What kissing was till i kissed lorelei

Loerelei lorelei

You think that i'm just lying

You think she don't exist

But if she kissed you boy

You'd know that you'd been kissed

For kissing is her speciality

Her one and only dish

For lorelei's a mermaid

Half a woman half a fish
