When You Wore A Tulip

Mister Kelly, if I may,

Remind you to remember the day

Of horseless carriages,

And divorceless marriages.

Dear Miss Garland, I presume

That in your memory you've enough room

To reach infinity,

Or that vicinity.

My heart booms

Like it had a shot of adrenaline.

Your heart booms

At the thought of old lace and crinoline.

So hold your hats, for here we go

To the dear dead days when a girl's best beau

Had his heart in it,

As he went to the spinet,

And sang to her this charming serenade;

When you wore a tulip,

A sweet yellow tulip,

And I wore a big red rose,

When you caressed me,

It was then heaven blessed me,

What a blessing no-one knows.

You made life cheery

When you called me dearie,

It was down where the blue grass grows.

Your lips were sweeter than julip

When you wore a tulip

And I wore a big red rose.

When you wore a tulip,

Yes, you wore a yellow tulip,

And I, and I wore a rose,

A big fat rose!

When you caressed me,

'Twas then heaven blessed me,

What a bless, what a bless,

What a blessing no-one knows.

You made life cheery

When you called me dearie,

It was down where the blue grass grows.

Your lips were sweeter than julip

When you wore a tulip

And I wore a big red rose
