I Ain't Never Been Kissed 1929

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 27 May 2002

Hiram Green was just as green
as Yorkshire grass in May,
When he went on romance bent
to London Town one day.
Hiram took a loving look
at girls who came his way,
Till at last a year had pass'd
and folks heard Hiram say:

I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.
I've been travelling East,
I've been travelling West,
I've been doing my best,
But No nobody will fall.
Guess my face was meant to chase
the chickens in the barn,
Leaving now to milk the cow,
But I don't give a darn,
'Cos I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.

I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.
I've been travelling East,
I've been travelling West,
I've been doing my best,
But No nobody will fall.
Guess my face was meant to chase
the chickens in the barn,
Leaving now to milk the cow,
But I don't give a darn,
'Cos I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.

Hiram's Dad said: "You're home, lad,
there's lots of work to do,"
Then he felt a leather belt
upon his Timbuctoo.
All the frogs, the cows and hogs,
would grunt as he pass'd by,
Ev'ry goose would then cut loose
and quack this lullaby:

I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.
I've been travelling East,
I've been travelling West,
I've been doing my best,
But No nobody will fall.
Guess my face was meant to chase
the chickens in the barn,
Leaving now to milk the cow,
But I don't give a darn,
'Cos I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.

I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.
I've been travelling East,
I've been travelling West,
I've been doing my best,
But No nobody will fall.
Guess my face was meant to chase
the chickens in the barn,
Leaving now to milk the cow,
But I don't give a darn,
'Cos I ain't never been kissed,
I ain't never been squeezed,
I ain't never been loved
by No nobody at all.
