Mister Kelly, if I may
Remind you to remember the day Of horseless carriages
And divorceless 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 the spinet
And sang to her this charming serenade;
When you wore a tulip
A sweet yellow tulip
And I wore a big red rose
When you caressed me
It was then heaven blessed me
What a blessing no-one knows
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
It was down where the blue grass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julip
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 blessing no-one knows
You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
It was down where the blue grass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julip
When you wore a tulip
And I wore a big red rose
