- 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.
