Lyrics
- A little boy was wild about
A little girl who found it out
She tried to play so “Hard to get”
He hasn’t even kissed her yet
He leaves her when she turns him down
Comes back again and hangs around
Waiting for one kiss
While he pleads like this
Chorus
“Gimme” a little kiss, will “Ya” huh?
What are “ya” gonna miss, will “Ya” huh?
Gosh! oh gee! why do you refuse?
I can’t see what you’ve got to lose
Aw, “gimme” a little squeeze, will “Ya” huh?
Why do you “wanna” make me blue?
I wouldn’t say a word if I were askin’ for the world
But what’s a little kiss between a “feller” and his girl?
Aw, “gimme” a little kiss, will “ya” huh?
And I’ll give it right back to you
- It’s been a year since first they met
He hasn’t quite succeeded yet
A month ago he held her hand
His patience, I can’t understand
That they’re engaged don’t mean a thing
He’s in a rage takes back his ring
Gives it back once more
While he starts to roar
Chorus
“Gimme” a little kiss, will “Ya” huh?
Must I go on like this, will “Ya” huh?
Once again a plea I’m gonna make
Tell me when do I get a break
Aw, say that you’re givin’ in, will “Ya” huh?
Anything that you ask, I’ll do
I’ll take you for a buggy ride, where we can be alone
And once you kiss me, you will never think of walking home
Aw, “gimme” a little kiss, will “ya” huh?
Or I’ll steal about ten from you
Chorus
“Gimme” a little coat, will “Ya” huh?
Sable or mink or goat, will “Ya” huh?
My poor hand is bare as anything
I could stand a bracelet or a ring
Aw, “gimme” a little car, will “Ya” huh?
That would be mighty nice to do
A Packard or a Lincoln or a Cadillac Sedan
I’ll even take a Rolls and you can add a chauffeur man
But don’t you give me a Ford, will “ya” huh?
Or I’ll give it right back to you
