I have obtained a the original sheet music but unfortunately it doesn't match either of the YT videos attached below. That's quite frustrating since I've had so many hits and requests for the chords to this song on the blog and thought I had this one settled. But it appears that there are several versions. The top video has changed the lyrics and created a male/female duet and the bottom video just uses a portion of the song.
...
Dear, I have that most peculiar feeling
Why tell me what makes you feel that way?
There's a certain something that goes stealing
Let me know what am I supposed to say
----
Red lips Uh-huh Kiss my blues away
Red lips they won't kiss today
Just pucker your lips and press them close to mine
But deary pressing lips is not my line
Red lips Uh-huh Kiss me I emplore
Yes dear I'll obey
----
Come make a dozen trips
I'll let my red ruby lips
Kiss my blues away
("smootch-smootch") Was that good honey?
I'll say that it was. Now that you've given me a sample.
Well honey, say goodbye, and hurry on your way.
Do you think a kiss or two is ample?
How much more do you expect today?
----
Red lips kiss my blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
Any old time that you come cudd'ling 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
----
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
----
(Both)
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 Lips... Got-cha...

(Blue=male part, Pink=female part, Orange=duet part)
Here's another variation. This YT video has some historical info.

Now red lips kiss my dog-gone blues away
Red lips kiss the night to day
Any time that you come cudd'ling near
Now isn't it strange the way the blues disappear
...
Oh, those 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
