[Chorus]
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance

[Bridge]
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

[Chorus]
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
And in a blue, blue mood
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation)
I'm all dressed up for the dance
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation)
I'm all alone in romance

[Bridge]
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
[Outro / Chorus]
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue, blue mood
