When I Kissed That Girl Good-bye
Now Little Willie Hubble, well he had a lot of trouble
In breaking off a certain love affair
Well he fin'ly did it, and I must admit it
Was a laugh when I heard him declare
I kissed her in the merry month of May
And I kissed her in the middle of July
Well I kissed her in the Fall but the best kiss of them all
Was the day when I kissed that girl good - bye
I kissed her on the road to Mandalay
And I kissed her in the streets of old Shanghai
But I got the biggest thrill in the town of old Seville
On the day when I kissed that gal good-bye
I kissed her in a rented Chevrolet
And I kissed her in a car she made me buy
Well I kissed her in a Ford but the day I thanked the lord
Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
Well I kissed her where they sing old fashioned songs
And I kissed her where they hi dee hi dee hi!
I could never sing a tune but the day I learned to croon
Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
I kissed her where the sea is deep and blue
And I kissed her where the rivers all run dry
I kissed her on the lake but the day I got my break
Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
I kissed her where the roses kiss the ground
And I kissed her where the mountains kiss the sky
Well I kissed her in the west but the kiss that I like best
Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
