[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
