Lorelei - Lonnie Donegan

I kissed a girl in Burma, in a town they called Rangoon

Her lips were hot as curry in the heat of the afternoon

Her kisses were so spicy I thought my lips would fry

But I never knew what kissing was till I kissed Lorelei

Loerelei, Lorelei, Lorelei

I kissed a girl in Africa, I only had a hope (?)

And every time I kissed her my ears would turn to soap

She kissed me oceans deeply and she kissed me mountains high

But I never knew what kissing was till I kissed Lorelei

Loerelei, Lorelei, Lorelei

I kissed a girl in London town, right underneath Big Ben

And as our lips were touching the clock was striking ten

She kissed me there in April and it lasted till July

But I never knew what kissing was till I kissed Lorelei

Loerelei, Lorelei, Lorelei

I kissed a girl in the Holy Land in the Sea of Galilee

She fed me dates and olives underneath a lemon tree

She kissed me till my sunburnt lips were parched and dry

But I never knew what kissing was till I kissed Lorelei

Loerelei, Lorelei, Lorelei

You think that I’m just lying and you think she don’t exist

But if she kissed you boy you’d know that you’d been kissed

For kissing is her speciality, her one and only dish

For Lorelei’s a mermaid, half a woman, half a fish

Lorelei, Lorelei, Lorelei
