'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

Darling, can't you see

'Twas for charity?

Though these lips have made slips,

It was never really serious

Who'd have thought I'd be brought

To a state that's so delirious?

I could cry salty tears

Where have I been all these years?

Little wow, tell me now

How long has this been going on?

There were chills up my spine

And some thrills I can't define

Listen sweet, oh I repeat

How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt

As into heaven, I'm hurled

I know how Columbus felt

Finding another world

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?
