WHEN IS A KISS NOT A KISS
>From the film "Champagne Waltz (1937)
(Lyrics: Ralph Freed / Music: Burton Lane)


Fred MacMurray (Film Soundtrack) - 1937
Jan Garber & His Orch. (vocal: Russ Brown) - 1937


I'm not as smart as a scientist
I just think with my heart
But I can answer the simple things
That the wisest men couldn't start to

When is a kiss not a kiss
Whenever I'm not kissing you
When my two arms are missing you
Nothing means a thing I do
When it's not concerning you

When is a hug not a hug
Whenever I'm not hugging you
If you'd allow me to always hang about
Then I'd have something that I could brag about
When is a kiss not a kiss
When I can't do my kissing with you
