(Eddie Maxwell / Tony Martin / Ben Oakland)

The Dinning Sisters - 1951
Russ Morgan & His Orch. - 1951





Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
So, pucker up, start mingling, a kiss will start you tingling
Just kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, all night long
The music in your heart becomes the kissing song

What makes the world go round, what turns it upside down
Gives you the feeling that the ceiling's on the ground
What makes Sir Lancelots forget forget-me-nots
And makes a tepid little leopard change its spots

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Don't lose the opportunity to use your lips in unity
Just kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, all night long
The music in your heart becomes the kissing song

(Instrumental Break)

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, hmm, hmm, hmm
The cost is economical, reactions are atomical
Just kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, all night long
The music in your heart becomes the kissing song

What takes the heart you've got and ties it in a knot
And makes a giant self reliant as a tot
What makes you fly to Spain without an aeroplane
What makes a candy bar a dish of caviar

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Don't waste your lips on syllables, just taste the thrill of thrillables
And just kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, all night long
The music in your heart becomes the kissing song

(Instrumental Break)

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, hmm, hmm, hmm
So, pucker up, start mingling, a kiss will start you tingling
Just kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, all night long
The music in your heart becomes the kissing song

The music in your heart becomes the kissing song
