I've Been Kissed In San Francisco 1909

I wonder why there is such perfect bliss
in anything as simple as a kiss,
I wonder what it is that thrills you so
I'd like to know.
I wonder why a fellow always tries
to kiss most all the pretty girls he spies,
Until the 'only one' he comes to know,
Then thoughts of other kisses fade away,
all fade away,
because you've found the only one
who ever made you say.

I've been kissed in San Francisco
in New York and New Orleans,
I've been kissed in good old Boston Town
and I know what kissing means,
I've been kissed in Philadelphia,
in Chicago and St. Paul,
I osculate, in ev'ry state
but I like your kissing best of all.

kissed in San Francisco
in New York and New Orleans,
I've been kissed in good old Boston Town
and I know what kissing means,
I've been kissed in Philadelphia,
in Chicago and St. Paul,
I osculate, in ev'ry state
but I like your kissing best of all.

From Labrador to Honolulu's shore,
from Old New York to Liverpool and Cork
I've always had a sentimental time,
In ev'ry clime.
I lost my heart in Paris at the start:
Since then I've spooned 'neath ev'ry kind of moon,
from all the world I've learned the kissing art,
I've flirted in Berlin
I've been caressed in Buda Pesth,
But since I fell in love with you
I've left out all the rest.

I've been kissed in San Francisco
in New York and New Orleans,
I've been kissed in good old Boston Town
and I know what kissing means,
I've been kissed in Philadelphia,
in Chicago and St. Paul,
I osculate, in ev'ry state
but I like your kissing best of all.

kissed in San Francisco
in New York and New Orleans,
I've been kissed in good old Boston Town
and I know what kissing means,
I've been kissed in Philadelphia,
in Chicago and St. Paul,
I osculate, in ev'ry state
but I like your kissing best of all.
