Some ladies love to get orchids
Or roses with stems a mile long
Some girls prefer a gardenia
Camelias might ring the gong
Or sometimes they like an old fashioned bouquet
A quaint little nosegay on Valentine?s Day
But I must disagree
These species are not for me

I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
And ev?rytime I see one
I always think of you

I hate ?chrysafadums?
Can?t say ?chrysanthemums?
I might as well just be one
If I can?t be with you

A rose is red
A violet?s blue
And I am only human
But I?ll admit when I?m with you
You steal a little kiss and I start bloomin?

I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
And ev?rytime I see one
I always think of you

Without your love
Well, goodness knows
There?s no two ways ?abott? it
I?d be just like a ramblin? rose
And I?d go out and get my poor self potted

I love geraniums
Bright, red geraniums
But I don?t love geraniums
As much as I love you
