Verse:

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 the 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,

Your best white orchid for her wedding gown.
