Mr. Edison, he invented the lights, Mr Bell, the telephone
And she showed them how to kiss hello and how to kiss goodbye
Love was very nice but as cold as ice to that gal who invented kissin'
Until she came along just think what they were missin'
Is to make a date and stay out late with the gal who invented kissin'
But till she came along this world had somethin' missin'
She showed the girls how pucker up and roll their pretty eyes
And she showed them how to steel a kiss like they do in foreign land
Now I've been out with a many a gal and the things all were so nice
But if I had my wish the only thing I'm wishin'
She ever knows how to kiss so fire and how to kiss goodnight
And I'm tellin' you there was nothin' to do till that gal invented kissin'
On every kind of hug and kiss she holds a copy rhyme
They could only cook or read a book till that gal who invented kissin'
Some of them I kissed just once and others more than twice
She taught the fellows how to smooth instead of holdin' hands
Until she came along just think what we were missin'
That's why today I'm shoutin' "hooray" for the gal who invented kissin'
And Columbus found America their names're all well known
But if I had my wish the only thing I'm wishin'
Until she came along just think what they were missin'
