How Long Has This Been Going On

'Neath the stars at Bazaars
Often, I've had to caress men
Five or ten dollars then, I 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
They were never really serious
Who'd have thought I'd be caught in a state that's so delirious
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?

Listen, you, tell me, do
How long has this been goin' on?
What a kick, how I buzz
Boy, you click like no one does
Listen, sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?

Dear, when in your arms, I creep
That divine rendezvous
Don't wake me if I'm asleep
Let me dream that it's true
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Then once more, that makes thrice
Come on, let's make it four

What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
