How Long As This Been Going On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men
Chess-men, chess-men, chess-men
How long has this been goin' on?
I could cry salty tears
Goin' on
How long has this been goin' on?
Did, when, in your arms, I creep
That divine rendez-vous
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
then once more, that make's thrice, camone let's make it four
How long has this been goin' on?
