Long, Strong, And Consecutive Lyrics

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.
