Lyrics Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington

Long, Strong, And Consecutive

Kiss me long, strong, and consecutive;

No short snort will suit me, jack.

Long, strong, and consecutive;

Hold me close like aces back to back.

Kiss me sweet, smooth, and conclusively;

No weak squeak--get on the beam.

Kiss me sweet, and conclusively,

Got to be good to be on my home team.

When I order chicken, I don't want the gizzard,

When I go a-fishing, a minnow won't do.

You must be standout, a whirlwind wizard;

Got to be the champ, or else you're through.

Kiss me long, strong, and consecutive,

No short snort will suit me, Jack.

Long, strong, and consecutive;

Hold me close like aces back to back.
