george gershwin - how long has this been going on (instrumental) lyrics

as a tot, when i trotted in little velvet panties,
i was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my anties.
sad to tell, it was h-ll, 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 ?
little wow, tell me now :
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 clombus 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 going on ?
dear, when in your arms i creep,
that divine rendez-vous,
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 ?… .
