Lyrics
It happened in a flower shop just the other day
When I went to order a bouquet
I walked up to the florist but before I could begin
A man rushed in and then I heard him say
Chorus
I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister Florist take my order, please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
Hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
Wrap up 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
You best white orchid for her wedding gown
