Louis Armstrong — How Long Has This Been Going On?

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 hell, 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 old lady, 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 Colombus 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 ? Yes, I could cry salty tears; Where have I been all these years ? Listen, you, tell me do How long has this been going on ? What a kick What a buzz Boy, you click as no one does Hear me sweet, I repeat 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 ?...
