When I Wonder Who's kissing her now was first released in the 1909 musical The Prince Of To-Night, famed Tin Pan Alley composer Joe Howard was credited for being the songs sole writer. The songs actual writers - Harold Orlob, Will M. Hough and Frank R. Adams - worked for for Howard as songwriters. In 1931 the song was used by Max Fleischer for a short film in his Screen Songs series featuring a popular 1909 recording by Billy Murray. After the song appeared in a 1947 movie titled after the song, the original composer of the music Harold Orlob sued Joe Howard demanding recognition, and eventually made a settlement out of court. Although Orlob never received royalties for the music, Howard agreed to share credit for the song.

I WONDER WHO'S KISSING HER NOW?
You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long ago.
And each one has meant heaven to you.
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn.
And have sworn to them all you'd be true.
You have kissed neath the moon while the world seemed in tune.
Then you left her to hunt a new game.
Has it ever occurred to you lately, my boy?
That she's probably doing the same.
Chorus
I wonder who's kissing her now.
Wonder who's teaching her how.
Wonder who's looking into her eyes.
Breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine.
For lips that I used to call mine.
Wonder if she ever tells him of me.
I wonder who's kissing her now.
If you want to feel wretched and lonesome and blue.
Just imagine the girl you loved best.
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss.
From the lips that you once fondly pressed.
But the world moves of pace and the loves of today.
Flit away with a smile and a tear.
So you never can tell who is kissing her now.
Or just who you'll be kissing next year.
