I want some red roses for a blue lady

Mister florist take my order please

We had a silly quarrel the other day

I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away



I want some red roses for a blue lady

Send them to the sweetest gal in town

And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick

Your best white orchid for her wedding gown



(I want some red roses for a blue lady)

We had a silly quarrel the other day

I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away



I want some red roses for a blue, blue lady

Send them to the sweetest gal in town

And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick

Your best white orchid for her wedding gown



Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
