Kiss the Boys Goodbye
Tommy Dorsey And His Orchestra/Connie Haines Lyrics


We're such a happy pair,
That it isn't right, no, it isn't fair
To all those other boys I gave the air

So, Daddy, let me stay out late
For tomorrow is our wedding date
Let the baby kinda celebrate
Kiss the boys goodbye

Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the difference what the neighbors think
Let the baby linger on the brink
Oh, kiss the boys goodbye

And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently
That my heart belongs to you

So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss
Let me show them what they're gonna miss
Kiss the boys goodbye

Buddy does some rockin' back beat in the middle.

Tommy Dorsey at his swinging peak! Catch Charlie Shavers hitting those high notes and Buddy Rich driving it all along. If it had been "Kiss the Girls Goodbye", Sinatra would have swung it like no-one else. It doesn't get much better than this.

It couldn't be Charlie Shavers. He wasn't in the band yet. Not until two or three years later. Sounds more like Ziggy Elman to me.

I think that it was actually Chuck Peterson who didn't solo a lot with TD (The Skunk Song, the great trumpet duel with Ziggy Elman on Well, Git It!). He played a little stiffer than Ziggy on his solos, and he stuck more to the melody line. He was the lead trumpet in Artie Shaw's great 1938-39 band before joining Tommy.

it's Ziggy elman not Charlie shaves!!!!!!!
