Pucker Up Your Lips, Miss Lindy.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Lindy Lou, Lindy Lou, listen here,
Nestle close, nestle close to me, dear,

There's some honey on your lips
that I would like to taste,

What's the use of letting all
such sweetness go to waste?

Can't you see, can't you see, no one's near?
I don't care, I don't care, if they hear,

Something's on my mind, sweetheart,
I've waited for the day,
I could fold you in my arms and say.

"Pucker up your lips, Miss Lindy,
Don't you dare to be so stingy,

Hold them way up close to mine,
So I can keep on kissing, kissing all the time.

Don't you get a~scared, Miss Lindy,
At what I'm goin' to say to you,

'Cause I told your Ma, she told Pa,
They said yes, so there you are,

You're mine, mine, mine for all the time,
Miss Lindy, Lindy, Lindy Lou."

"Pucker up your lips, Miss Lindy,
Don't you dare to be so stingy,

Hold them way up close to mine,
So I can keep on kissing, kissing all the time.

Don't you get a~scared, Miss Lindy,
At what I'm goin' to say to you,

'Cause I told your Ma, she told Pa,
They said yes, so there you are,

You're mine, mine, mine for all the time,
Miss Lindy, Lindy, Lindy Lou."

Tell me, dear, tell me, dear, why you sigh,
Ain't you glad, ain't you glad, by and by,

We will be so happy, honey, happy as can be,
If you only tell me that you want no one but me.

Wedding bells, wedding bells, soon will chime,
You'll be mine, you'll be mine all the time,

Honey, don't be bashful,
pluck up courage, don't say nay,
And I'll have a parson hear me say.

"Pucker up your lips, Miss Lindy,
Don't you dare to be so stingy,

Hold them way up close to mine,
So I can keep on kissing, kissing all the time.

Don't you get a~scared, Miss Lindy,
At what I'm goin' to say to you,

'Cause I told your Ma, she told Pa,
They said yes, so there you are,

You're mine, mine, mine for all the time,
Miss Lindy, Lindy, Lindy Lou."

"Pucker up your lips, Miss Lindy,
Don't you dare to be so stingy,

Hold them way up close to mine,
So I can keep on kissing, kissing all the time.

Don't you get a~scared, Miss Lindy,
At what I'm goin' to say to you,

'Cause I told your Ma, she told Pa,
They said yes, so there you are,

You're mine, mine, mine for all the time,
Miss Lindy, Lindy, Lindy Lou."

Pucker Up Your Lips, Miss Lindy
1912
Albert von Tilzer composed musically
and Eli Dawson wrote the words.
Not a lot of puckering up seems to take place
in songs these days
but with one mis-placed consonant
the title of this song and the meaning could
be changed for ever.

As ever my friend, Doug Grierson, found this
amusing musical morsel for me to sequence and
I trust you will have enjoyed it.

was singing about - and why.
