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)
