KISSING SONG.
Lat me kiss her for her mother
The bewitcbing Polly Ann
Lot me kiss her for her MOTHER
Or any other man.
Let me kiss her for somebody,
Anybody in the world,
With her hair SO ewee.lY auburn
And SO gloriously curled.
Let me kiss her for her "ieller''
And do not care red,
If he taps me on the smeller
With his chilly made of lead
Lot me kiss her for her daddy
The pretty pOuling elf
Or. II that don't suit the family,
Let me kiss her for herself.
