[Lyrics] Gimme red lipstick and a bright purple rouge A shingle bob haircut and a shot of good booze Come along young man, everything settin' right My husband's goin' away 'till next Saturday night Now, I'm raring to go, got red shoes on my feet My mind is sittin' right for a Tin Lizzie seat I'd like to fashion shop, and the one who looks best. Your sister sweet mama wants a brand new dress. The red rooster say, "Cockle-doodle-do-do" The rich women say "Any dude will do" Dress skirt cut high, then they cut low Don't think I'm a sport, keep on watchin' me go With rosy red garters, pink hose on my feet Turkey red bloomer, with a rumble seat Every Sunday mornin', church people watch me go My wings sprouted out, the preacher told me so ************************************ | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
