LIPSTICK, POWDER, & PAINT LYRICS
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
There goes my baby up a tree,
Gigglin' and wigglin' her toes at me.
Let me put my glasses on,
Ain't had such lovin' since she's been gone.
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
Hound dog, scratchin' fleas,
Lookin' like she's in love with me .
Lick my hand everywhere I go,
I wish my baby loved me so.
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
(SAX INSTRUMENTAL)
Corn in the barnyard ten feet high,
Hide with me until your man pass by.
Don't you sneeze and don't you cough,
If you get dusty I'll brush you off.
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
What kind of love is that you make,
The world start tremblin' and the buildings shakes.
Love me love me once again,
Let the roof and walls come tumblin' in.
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Lipstick, powder, and paint,
Is you is or is you ain’t.
Lipstick…. powder, and paaa-nint .
