How Long Has This 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
