Lyrics | Gim’ Me a Kiss, Mirandy (‘Cause I’m Goin’ Over There) Verse: A raw recruit from old Mizoo enlisted in the ranks, They slipped some khaki breeches up on his spindle shanks. Then all dressed up he went to woo Mirandy down the way, And when she cut the little curl, this raw recruit did say: Refrain: Gim’ me a kiss, Mirandy, ‘caus I’m going over there. I need a little bracer now besides a lock of hair. I know you’re not the slacker kind, you’ve got the goods for fair! So, gim’ me a kiss, Mirandy, ‘cause I’m goin’ over there. Verse: Mirandy hung her pretty head and gave a little sigh, Her boy was goin’ to fight in France and mebbe for to die. She puckered up her lips and said, “I’ll do my little bit.” And when she let him have a kiss he didn’t want to quit. Refrain |
