Griswold & Orr

Ella Mae Morse   
recorded 1953


Also available under the title GAL WHO INVENTED KISSIN', THE 
as recorded by Hank Snow & The Rainbow Ranch Boys  
 

I love the guy who invented kissin',
I don't recall his name,
But I do believe that guy should sit
High in the Hall of Fame!

Until he came along,
Just think what we were missin';
That's why today
I'm a-shoutin' hurray
For the guy who invented kissin'!

He taught the fellas how to smooch
Instead of holdin' hands;
He showed them how to steal a kiss
Like they do in foreign lands.

Until he came along,
Just think what they were missin';
Love was very nice,
But as cold as ice
Till that guy invented kissin'!

He showed the girls how to pucker up
And roll their pretty eyes;
He showed them how to kiss hello
And how to kiss goodbye.

Until he came along,
Just think what they were missin';
They could only cook
Or read a book
Till that guy invented kissin'!

Mister Edison invented the light,
Mister Bell the telephone,
And Columbus found America,
There names are all well known.

But till he came along,
This world had somethin' missin';
And I'm tellin' you
There was nothin' to do
Till that guy invented kissin'!

He patented the kiss of fire
And how to kiss goodnight;
On every kind of kiss and hug
He holds the copyright!

And if I had my way,
The only thing I'm wishin'
Is to make a date,
Then stay out late
With the guy who invented kissin'!
Aaaah!
