About Kiss the Girl

"Kiss the Girl" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman for Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid (1989). Originally recorded by American actor Samuel Wright in his film role as Sebastian, "Kiss the Girl" is a calypso ballad; the song's lyrics encourages Prince Eric to kiss Ariel before it's too late. "Kiss the Girl" had a mostly positive reception. The song was nominated for both an Academy and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, but lost both to "Under the Sea", another song from The Little Mermaid soundtrack.

Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You better be prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it
How you wanna kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)

Kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too bad
You're gonna miss the girl

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Go on and kiss the girl
Go on and kiss that girl
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Go on and kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Go on and kiss the girl
