A Kiss Goodnight
Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra Lyrics

A kiss goodnight is alright
A goodnight kiss is not something unusual or objectionable

But remember this
However, it's important to keep in mind that

That a kiss goodnight leads to another kiss
Just one kiss goodnight often leads to multiple kisses

A kiss goodnight with a hug real tight
A goodnight kiss accompanied by a tight embrace

Is nothing short of bliss
Is extremely pleasurable and enjoyable

And a kiss goodnight leads to another kiss
As previously noted, one kiss often leads to more

It's an old custom for a boy and girl to embrace
It's a long-standing tradition for couples to hug and show affection

In some secluded place
Typically, this would happen somewhere private or away from others

LIttle mister cupid never could be quite so stupid
The mythological figure of Cupid is not foolish enough to think otherwise

As to do a turn about face
To change course or direction so drastically would be uncharacteristic for Cupid

So it just ain't right to kiss goodnight
It wouldn't feel quite right to end the night without a heartfelt kiss

And stop at 3 or 4
A few kisses just won't suffice

'Cause a kiss goodnight leads to a dozen or more
As previously noted, one kiss usually leads to multiple kisses throughout the night

If you like me like I like you
If there is mutual attraction between two individuals

Don't stand there at the door knock knock
Rather than waiting outside, knock on the door to come inside

A kiss goodnight and hug real tight
Greet each other with a loving kiss and embrace

And we'll run into a dozen more
As previously noted, one kiss usually leads to many more throughout the night
