One of her best songs from those younger and more innocent days has lyrics that are, by today's standards, prescient: Ai, ai, ai, ai Have you ever kissed in the moonlight In the grand and glorious Gay notorious South American way* *In its day pronounced Souse American in affectionate imitation of her accent. Lyrics that are camp by today's standard were widespread then. The lines that follow the ones in the topic title go: You'll be as gay as can be If you will learn to "sà sÃ" like a Latin Quote
