I don't worry when the blues come stealing
I know how to cure them right away
Anytime I get that lonesome feeling
I call up my sweetie and I say

Red lips kiss my blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
Any old time that you come cuddlin' near
Isn't it strange the way the blues disappear

Red lips, hold them close to mine
Sweetheart don't delay
Come make a dozen trips, let your red, ruby lips
Kiss my blues away

Red cherries never go to waste
Red apples have the sweetest taste
How can a man keep a level head
When the bull goes wild when he sees red

Red roses for a bride in June
Red robins sing the sweetest tune
Watch them ??? up on a wall
He's there with a redhead when he falls

I've seen red roses on a bride in June
Red, red robins sing the sweetest tune
Tasted red wine that was sweet and rare
But put 'em all together and they can't compare with

Red lips kiss my blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
Each time I get a kiss from you in the ???
It rustles the blues and leaves the night closing ???

Red lips, hold them close to mine
Sweetheart don't delay
Come make a dozen trips, let your red, ruby lips
Kiss my blues away

All day long her telephone keeps ringing
Other boys have blues just like my own
Here's the song she always hears them singing
Every time that she picks up the phone

Red lips kiss my blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
The first time you kissed me, gee, it lasted a week
It tasted so goody good that I couldn't sleep

Red lips, hold them close to mine
Sweetheart don't delay
Come make a dozen trips, let your red, ruby lips
Kiss my blues away
