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?
  
  (spoken)
  Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four
  
  What a break, for heaven's sake
  How long has this been goin' on?
