G 
Punches tell of trails
across the great divide
I'd like to tell you of a trail
D 
that you had better don't ride
G 
A kiss and maybe Jake
if you just know how it's done
A 
You're goofy if you think
D 
that two can live as cheap as one
G 
Man, the stuff sticks just like putty
A 
The effect will drive you nutty
D 
G 
If you blunder down that lipstick trail
In her hands you're just like taffy
A 
And she'll nearly drive you daffy
D 
G 
Till you find a little bungalow for sale
B 
You may think that you're in heaven
E 
When she whispers, you're my all
A 
If you don't believe she means it
D 
Watch your bank account fall
G 
And when the brats yell,
gimme daddy
A 
Remember this, my laddie
D 
G 
I warned you of that lipstick trail
Oh, now the first kiss will be mushy,
warm and soft and sweet
You're just doped enough
D 
to want to make the thrill complete
G 
The next one you'll get dizzy
and start wondering
where you are
A 
Then you'll need the fire department
D 
to bring you back to par
G 
When you're raving like a loony,
A 
forever feeling spoony
D 
G 
You've blundered down that lipstick trail
And when a wedding ring is handy,
A 
you think matrimony's dandy,
D 
and you'll mortgage all you've
G 
got to get the kale.
But when the beans are
B 
cold and greasy,
E 
and the bills  start piling high,
A 
she'll put on a coat of lipstick
D 
and rope in another guy.
G 
Then it's harder to forget her
A 
than it was the day you met her,
D 
and blunder down that lipstick
G 
A 
D 
trail.

G 
Henry Ford did wonders
with his automobile
But now the fair sex is streamlined,
D 
what a raw deal
G 
Now the gals are painted
from their toenails to their head
A 
They look like a traffic signal
D 
when the thing gets hung on red man
G 
you lead her to the altar
A 
and she firmly steps a halter
D 
G 
you blunder down that lipstick trail
and when the rolling pins
start flying
A 
and you're swearing drinking
D 
lying you start a fight
G 
and then you land in jail
B 
you go out and find a baby
E 
and you think you're
doing fine
A 
but she'll smear you
up with lipstick
D 
till you're like a neon sign
G 
you want to keep your senses
better
A 
stay between the fences,
D 
don't blunder down that lipstick trail,
G 
E 
oh hear me brother,
A 
D 
G 
don't blunder down that lipstick trail.
