Right! I used to love singing that song! For those of you who don't
know, it goes:
I'd like some red roses for a blue lady.
Send them to the sweetest girl in town.
We had a little quarrel the other day.
Hope these pretty roses chase the blues away.
Wrap up some red roses for a blue lady.
Mr. Florist, take my order please.
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchids for her wedding gown.
(At least, that's how I recall it. :-))
By the way, my dad had a corny (or you could substitute an "h" for the
"c") rendition of "I'm Forever Blowin' Bubbles." It's supposed to go:
I'm forever blowin' bubbles.
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They float so high, nearly reach the sky
And then they pop and soon they die."
(or something like that)
Dad's version:
I'm forever blowin' bubbles.
Bubbles is a pretty girl....
There's a cute rendition of "Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" that I
found in a Bar-room Ballads book. It goes something like this:
"Oh dear, what can the matter be? Seven old ladies locked in the lavetry
(sp?)
They were there from Monday through Saturday and nobody knew they were
there."
The rest of the lyrics are hilarious, but I've forgotten them and I no
longer have the book.
