Version 1:

Verse:

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?

Chorus:

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 fav'rite 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!

Version 2:

Chorus:

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 fav'rite 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!

Verse 1:

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?

Verse 2 (optional):

Fireflies are glist'ning,
I perceive.
While we wait,
They scintillate
And brighten up the darkness.
But while we are list'ning
To the katydids,
What is that thing
That's sure to bring
A thrill to lovesick kids?

Verse 3 (optional):

I've been kissed by charmers
On the screen.
They're O.K.,
But they're passé,
Compared with you, my queenie!
They're all false alarmers
In a kissing part,
They lack the punch
And I've a hunch
They finish where you start.

Chorus 2:

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 fav'rite 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!

Chorus 3:

(He:) Ooh, that kiss,
Makes the world go wiggling,
While the stars are jiggling
All around the moon.
(She:) Ooh, that kiss,
Makes you dream of fairies,
Then you hear canaries
Sing your fav'rite tune.
(He:) What is love,
But the kisses you give and take?
(She:) What is love,
But a helping of angel cake?
(He:) Nights like this
Have a swell reaction,
What's the big attraction?
(Both:) Ooh, that kiss!
