How Long Has This Been Going On? Lyrics

'Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men.
Five or ten, dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men.
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men.

Into heaven I'm hurled.
I know how Columbus felt

Kiss me once, then once more,
What a dunce I was before.
What a break, for heaven's sake,
How long has this been going on?

Dear, when into your arms I creep;
That divine rendezvous.
Don't wake me if I'm asleep.
Let me dream that it's true.

Kiss me twice, then once more--
That makes thrice, let's make it four.
What a break, for heaven's sake,
How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?
