A kiss goodnight is alright,
But remember this,
That a kiss goodnight
Leads to another kiss!


A kiss goodnight with a hug real tight
Is nothing short of bliss,
And a kiss goodnight
Leads to another kiss!


It's an old custom for a boy and a girl
To embrace in some secluded place.
Little Mister Cupid
Never could be quite so stupid
As to do a turn about face!


So it just ain't right to kiss goodnight
And stop at three or four,
'Cause a kiss goodnight
Leads to a dozen or more!


It's an old custom for a boy and a girl
To embrace in some secluded place.
Little Mister Cupid
Never could be quite so stupid
As to do a turn about face!


So a kiss goodnight is alright,
But remember this,
That a kiss goodnight
Leads to another kiss!


If you like me like I like you,
Don't stand there at the door!
Knock me a kiss goodnight
And a hug real tight,
And we'll run into a dozen or more!
