Kisses Sweeter Than Wine (Marlene Dietrich) Well once was a young man he've never been kissed He got to thinkin' it over how much he had missed So he found a girl, he kissed her and then Wouldn't you know - he kissed her again because
She had kisses sweeter than wine She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
He asked her to marry and be his good wife He told her they could be so happy for the rest of their life He begged a lot of people like a natural man and then Wouldn't you know - she gave him a hand because
She had kisses sweeter than wine She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
He worked mighty hard and so did his wife Working hand in hand to make a good life They had corn in the field and meat in the bin Wouldn't you know - he was the father of twins because
She had kisses sweeter than wine She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
Their children they number just about four And they all have a sweetheart a-knockin' at the door They all got married and they didn't hesitate Before a long he was the grandfather of eight because
She had kisses sweeter than wine She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine
Now he's old and ready to go He gets to thinkin' what happened a long time ago They had a lot of kids, and trouble and pain But you can bet your life - he'd do it all again because
She had kisses sweeter than wine She had uh-uh kisses sweeter than wine It's clear to see - she had kisses sweeter than wine
