Kisses Sweeter Than Wine (Marlene Dietrich)
Well once was a young man he've never been kissed
He got to thinkin' it over how much he had missed
So he found a girl, he kissed her and then
Wouldn't you know - he kissed her again because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
(sweeter than wine)
He asked her to marry and be his good wife
He told her they could be so happy for the rest of their life
He begged a lot of people like a natural man and then
Wouldn't you know - she gave him a hand because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
He worked mighty hard and so did his wife
Working hand in hand to make a good life
They had corn in the field and meat in the bin
Wouldn't you know - he was the father of twins because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
Their children they number just about four
And they all have a sweetheart a-knockin' at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate
Before a long he was the grandfather of eight because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
Now he's old and ready to go
He gets to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
They had a lot of kids, and trouble and pain
But you can bet your life - he'd do it all again because
She had kisses sweeter than wine
She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
It's clear to see - she had kisses sweeter than wine
