George Gershwin — How Long Has This Been Going On?

(Verse) As a tot When I trot- Ted in little velvet panties I was kissed By my sist- Ers, my cousins, and my aunties Sad to tell It was hell An inferno worse than Dante's So my dear I swore "Never, never more" On my list I insist- Ed that kissing must be crossed out Now I find I was blind And oh, lady, how I've lost out (Chorus) 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 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 going on? Dear when in your arms I creep That divine rendezvous 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?
