[Verse 1]
I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist, take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers take the blues away
I want 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 and pick
Your best white orchids for her wedding gown

[Bridge]
I want some red roses for a blue lady, ah, ah
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase the blues away

[Verse 2]
I want 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 orchids for her wedding gown

[Outro]
Your best white orchids for her wedding gown
