Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire - How Long Has This Been Going On? (Extrait de la comédie musicale « Drôle de frimousse »)

Текст песни

As a tot, when I trotted in little velvet panties,
I was kissed by my sisters, my cousins, and my aunties.
Sad to tell, it was hell, an inferno worse than Dante’s.
So my dear I swore, «Never, never more!»
On my list, I insisted that kissing must be crossed out.
Now, I find I was blind, and oh my! How I lost out!
I could cry salty tears, where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now, how long has this been going on?
There were chills up my spine and some thrills I can’t define.
Listen, sweet, I repeat, how long has this been going on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt, into Heaven I’m hurled!
I know how Columbus felt, finding another world.
Kiss me once, then once more, what a dunce I was before.
What a break! For Heaven’s sake! How long has this been going on?
Dear, when in your arms I creep, that divine rendezvous,
Don’t wake me, if I’m asleep, let me dream that it’s true!
Kiss me twice, then once more, that makes thrice, let’s make it four!
What a break! For Heaven’s sake! How long has this been going on?
How long has this, been going on?
