 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
