The Gal Who Invented Kissin’ Songtext
von Hank Snow

I love the girl who invented kissin′, I don't recall her name
But I do believe that girl should sit high up in the hall of fame
Until she came along, just think what we were missin′
That's why today, I'm shouting hurray for the gal who invented kissing

She thought the fellows how to smooch instead of holding hands
She showed them how to steal a kiss like they do in foreign lands
Until she came along, just think what they were missin′
Love was very nice, but as cold as ice ′til that girl who invented kissin'


She showed the girls how to puff their up and roll their pretty eyes
And she showed them how to kiss hello and how to kiss goodbye
Until she came along, just think what they were missin′
They could only cook or read a book 'til that girl invented kissin′

Mr. Edison, he invented the lights, Mr. Bell the telephone
And Columbus found America their names are all well known
But 'til she came along, this world had somethin′ missin'
And I'm telling you, there was nothing to do ′til that gal invented kissin′

She paddened it, the kiss of fire and how to kiss goodnight
On every kind of hug and kiss, she holds a copy rhyme
And if I had my way, the only thing I'm wishin′
Is to make a date and stay out late with the girl who invented kissin'
