as recorded by Ella Mae Morse  
 


I love the gal who invented kissin'
I don't recall her name
But I do believe that gal should sit
High up the hall of fame
Until she came along
Just think what we were missin'
That's why today I'm shoutin "Hooray!"
For the gal who invented kissin'

She taught the fellows how to smooch
Instead of holdin' 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
Till that gal invented kissin'

(Instrumental Break)

She showed the girls how to pucker up
And roll their purty 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
Till that gal invented kissin'

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

(Instrumental Break)

She patented the kiss of fire
And how to kiss goodnight
On ev'ry kind of hug and kiss
She holds the copyright
And if I had my way
The only think I'm wishin'
Is to make a date, then stay out late
With the gal who invented kissin'
