The Way to Kiss a Girl
First you place your loving arms around her,
And you hold her in a fond embrace,
Then you rest her head upon your shoulder,
And you look down in her face;
Hug her just as tight as you can squeeze her,
Then while your hearts are both a 'whirl,
Let your lips to her's be pressed, and she will do the rest,
For that's the way to kiss a girl.
