Kissing Is A Crime

I know a little girl and I want her for my wife
She's pretty and sweet, neat little feet
Never been kissed in her life
You can ask her for a kiss
She said, "Oh what a bore!"
Every time she vows and declares she'll never do so anymore

Born to be a bitter girl and never kiss again
'Fraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain
You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time

I called at her house one night but I didn't intend to stay
She laid her head on my shoulder and said the old folks are away
I kissed her a dozen times and someone came to the door
Every time she vowed and declared she'd never do so anymore

Born to be a bitter girl and never kiss again
'Fraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain
You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time

She'll see you to the door, kiss and then goodnight
Every time she vows and declares she'll never do so any more

Born to be a bitter girl and never kiss again
'Fraid my ma might find it out and cause her great pain
You may walk and talk and hold my hand but kissing is a crime
I'll not kiss you anymore until next time
