When you left me all alone at the record hop

Told me you were goin' out for a soda pop

You were gone for quite a while -- half-an-hour more

You came back and man, oh, man, this is what i saw:



Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you

Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue

Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through

'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! yeah!



You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think

And then i noticed yours was red; mine was baby pink

Who walked in but mary jane, lipstick all a mess?

Were you smoochin' my best friend? guess the answer's 'yes'



Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you

Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue

Bet your bottom dollar you and i are through

'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! boy!

Told a tale on you! man!

Told a tale on you! yeah! (fade)
