Lyrics
Fireflies are flitting, see them spark
While they flit we sit and sit
And cuddle in the darkness
Do you mind admitting honestly and true
That you know what, and I know what
We’re looking forward to?
Refrain
Ooh! that kiss makes the world go wiggling
While the stars are jiggling all around the moon
Ooh! that kiss makes you dream of fairies
Then you hear canaries sing your favorite tune
What is love, but the kisses you give and take
What is love, but a helping of angel cake
Nights like this have a swell reaction
What’s the big attraction?
Ooh that kiss
