[He:] Oh it really wasn't my intention,
to disregard convention,
it was just an impulse
that had to be obeyed.
[She:] Beacon Hill behaviour
we've been scorning,
but I'll not go in mourning,
though my reputation
is blemished, I'm afraid.
[He:] With just one kiss,
what heaven, what rapture, what bliss!

[He:] Honestly I thought you wouldn't
naturally you thought you couldn't
and probably we shouldn't
but aren't you kind of glad we did?
Actually it all was blameless
nevertheless they'll call it shameless
so the lady shall be nameless
but aren't you kind a glad we did?
[She:] Socially I'll be an outcast,
obviously we dined alone.
On my good name
there will be doubt cast
with never a sign of any chaperone.
[He:] No matter how they may construe it,
whether or not we have to rue it
whatever made us do it
say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

[She:] Honestly I thought I wouldn't
naturally I thought I couldn't
and probably I shouldn't
[He:] But aren't you kind of glad we did?
People we know will call me viper
maybe the time
could have been riper
[Both:] We'll have to pay the piper
but what we did we're glad we did.
[He:] Heaven is mine,
at last I kissed you!
Yesterday's world seems far away.
[She:] Truthfully I could not resist you,
but what is it Missus Grundy's going to say?
[He:] That I'm a cad, a Boston blighter
running around with my typewriter.
[Both:] Let's turn to something brighter
whatever we did we're glad we did.
