(|: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah :|)
When you left me all alone at the record hop
Told me you were going out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more
You came back and, man oh man, this is what I saw:
(Chorus:)
Lipstick on you collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on you collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'cause lipstick on you collar told a tale on you, yeah!
You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think
Then I noticed yours was red, mine was baby pink
Who walked in but Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess
Were you smooching my best friend, if the answer's yes.
Chorus
Told a tale on you, man!
