Even as a child, I noticed that every time Mama wore bright red lipstick to bed...the next morning was A LOT HAPPIER around our house!
Lyrics
She brushes back her long dark hair….slips on her best night gown Sweet perfume drifts thru the air, the lights are all turned down Her work is done, the kids have all laid down their sleepy heads TONIGHT she’s gonna wear, his favorite lipstick in bed Chorus: Lipstick in bed, that’s what I said Not a shy pale pink, but a deep crimson red And when the morning comes, they smile at things unsaid Their little secret, lipstick in bed! He wakes up with the girl he loves, in his warm embrace The sun is only half as bright, as the smile on his face He steals a kiss and hugs her tight, while the kids are being fed LAST NIGHT their mama wore, his favorite lipstick in bed Chorus: Lipstick in bed, that’s what I said Not a shy pale pink, but a deep crimson red And when the morning comes, they smile at things unsaid Their little secret, lipstick in bed! Lipstick in bed, that’s what I said Not a shy, pale pink, but a deep crimson red…and On some distant morning, when silver crowns their heads They’ll smile and remember, lipstick in bed! Ahhh, she’ll still be wearing….lipstick in bed
