If Kisses Are Intoxicating As They Say 1919

Ev'rybody's heard the news
ev'rybody's got the blues,
how're we gonna stand the strain,
when Mister Prohibition comes to reign,
Up 'till now I've been in doubt
But I've just figured something out,
I got this from a Broadway Miss
there's intoxication in a kiss.

So if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
I should worry
'bout the "bone dry" law,
I'll date up all the girls
from Maine to 'Frisco Bay
I'll have the greatest time you ever saw
I'll never draw a sober breath
the live long day
and I'll be happy as a king
for if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
Prohibition you have lost your sting!

if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
I should worry
'bout the "bone dry" law,
I'll date up all the girls
from Maine to 'Frisco Bay
I'll have the greatest time you ever saw
I'll never draw a sober breath
the live long day
and I'll be happy as a king
for if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
Prohibition you have lost your sting!

No more hanging 'round cafés
hello soda fountain days
then it's goodbye cabaret
when Mister Prohibition comes to stay,
'stead of saying: "Have a drink,"
say: "have a kiss," and then you wink.
Imagine all the coin you'll save
Pretty Mama, make your eyes behave!

So if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
I should worry
'bout the "bone dry" law,
I'll date up all the girls
from Maine to 'Frisco Bay
I'll have the greatest time you ever saw
I'll never draw a sober breath
the live long day
and I'll be happy as a king
for if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
Prohibition you have lost your sting!

if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
I should worry
'bout the "bone dry" law,
I'll date up all the girls
from Maine to 'Frisco Bay
I'll have the greatest time you ever saw
I'll never draw a sober breath
the live long day
and I'll be happy as a king
for if kisses are intoxicating
like they say
Prohibition you have lost your sting!
