You say my uncle left a million
And half of it belongs to me?
Let us talk about that later
It's important but love's greater
Right now I'm busy as a bee

I'm in an awful hurry so don't ask me now to stop
I'm going to place an order in a little flower shop:

Give me one dozen roses
Put my heart in beside them
And send them to the one I love

She'll be glad to receive them
And I know she'll believe them
That's something we've been talking of

There may be orange blossoms later
Kind of think that there will
'Cause she's done something to me
And my heart won't keep still

Give me one dozen roses
Put my heart in beside them
And send them to the one I love
