When You Wore a Tulip Lyrics

Mr. Kelly, if I may remind you to
Remember the day of horseless carriages
And of horseless 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 spin it
And sang to her this charming serenade

When you wore a tulip
A big yellow tulip
And I wore a big red rose

When you caressed me
′Twas then heaven blessed me
What a blessing no one knows

You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
'Twas down where the bluegrass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julep
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 bless no one knows
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
′Twas down where the bluegrass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julep
When you wore a tulip
And I wore a big red rose
