Send me some violets, as blue as can be
A violet fell in love
with a rose
And started it blushing
from its head to its toes
Then one day the rose
was kissed
by the dew
A new love was born and the violet turned blue
I wanted my love
to bouquet with you
Just like the rose,
you've proven
untrue A flower that's wild,
they say has no home
And just like the violet,
I'm left all alone
Roses are red,
violets are blue I'm sending red,
red roses to you
Prepare to send some flowers to me Then send me some violets,
I'm blue as can be
