Lyrics

  1. There’s a couple in our neighborhood
    They’re oh! so good, so goody good
    And his Flora Belle is oh! so shy
    Oh! me oh! my
    And every time he’d try to steal a kiss
    You’d always hear hi cry

Chorus
Will you take your finger out of your mouth
I want a kiss from you
Will you take your finger out of your mouth
You know you’re over two
A candy kiss is sweet, you see
But wait till you get a kiss from me
Will you take your finger out of your mouth
I want a kiss from you

  1. Every night you see this loving pair
    A-cooing there without a care
    But Miss Flora Belle just winks her eye
    She knows her book, oh! my
    She puts her finger in her mouth this way
    And then you’ll hear him say
