Lyrics
- I likes good music
And I likes a real good song
I likes ragtime dancing
I could dance the whole day long
I likes good swimming
It’s a sport that satisfies
But kissing am my fav’rite exercise
I likes a kiss that starts off with a thud
Sounds like a cow’s foot
Drawn out of the mud
Chorus
I love to kiss my honey
It makes me feel so funny
Ev’ry day, she will say
As I’m goin’ away
Come, Babe, it’s time for kissing
You don’t know what you are missing
Eyes to eyes, nose to nose
Flippitty flop and away she goes
- Kissing New York girls
They will say how dare you, sir
Kiss a girl in Boston
She will call an officer
Girls in Chicago they will kiss
And then they’ll sing
The Brooklyn girl says
You’re the fresh old thing
The girls you kiss on this street are alright
They simply say be here tomorrow night
