When You Wore A Tulip (And I Wore A Big Red Rose) 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, a-what a bless, a-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
