I love the guy who invented kissin', I don't recall his name, But I do believe that guy should sit High in the Hall of Fame! Until he came along, Just think what we were missin'; That's why today I'm a-shoutin' hurray For the guy who invented kissin'! He taught the fellas how to smooch Instead of holdin' hands; He showed them how to steal a kiss Like they do in foreign lands. Until he came along, Just think what they were missin'; Love was very nice, But as cold as ice Till that guy invented kissin'! He showed the girls how to pucker up And roll their pretty eyes; He showed them how to kiss hello And how to kiss goodbye. Until he came along, Just think what they were missin'; They could only cook Or read a book Till that guy invented kissin'! Mister Edison invented the light, Mister Bell the telephone, And Columbus found America, There names are all well known. But till he came along, This world had somethin' missin'; And I'm tellin' you There was nothin' to do Till that guy invented kissin'! He patented the kiss of fire And how to kiss goodnight; On every kind of kiss and hug He holds the copyright! And if I had my way, The only thing I'm wishin' Is to make a date, Then stay out late With the guy who invented kissin'! Aaaah!
