The Guy Who Invented Kissin'

Ella Mae Morse · Other Songs - Ella Mae Morse

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!
