The song pays homage to the life and death of Jayne Mansfield, a 1950s and early 60s sex symbol. Mansfield and Cary Grant made a film in 1957 called Kiss Them for Me.
[Verse 1]
It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
[Chorus]
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
[Verse 2]
It's divoon, oh, it's serene
In the fountain's pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart-shaped pool of fame, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
[Chorus]
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the tenth impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed, oh
[Chorus]
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
