How Long Has This Been Going On? from Rosalie, 1927 - Vocal

'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, I repeat
 How long has this been going on?
 Oh, I feel that I could melt
 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?
 Dear when in your arms I creep
 That divine rendezvous
 Drawn to wake me if I'm asleep
 Let me dream that it's true
 Kiss me twice, then once more
 That makes thrice, lets make it four
 What a break, for heaven's sake
 How long has this been going on?
 How long has this been going on?
