It all began down at Bennie’s on a Saturday night
When somethin’ blew out a fuse and left the room without light
The man who played piano wasn’t put out
He simply stamped his feet and rocked the beat and started to shout
What did he say? What did he say?
He said the only thing a fella could say!
Do the Kissin’ Bug Boogie, the Kissin’ Bug Boogie
The Kissin’ Bug Boogie, Kiss your baby all the night long!
The bride and groom looked so happy as they walked down the aisle
She wore a dream in her eye and he was wearing a smile
He put a wedding ring of gold on her hand
And when the knot was tied he grabbed the bride and said to the band
What did he say? What did he say?
He said the only thing a fella could say!
Play the Kissin’ Bug Boogie, the Kissin’ Bug Boogie
The Kissin’ Bug Boogie, Kiss your baby all the night long!
If there’s a sweet certain party that you’d love to romance
Make sure the place that you take her is a place you can dance
You’ll never have to wait to kiss her good night
Just walk up hand in hand and greet the band and say something bright
What do ya say? What do ya say?
You say the only thing a fella can say!
Play the Kissin’ Bug Boogie, the Kissin’ Bug Boogie
The Kissin’ Bug Boogie, Kiss your baby all the night long!
Kiss your baby—all the night long!
