One Dozen Roses

You say my uncle left a million,

And half of it belongs to me?

Let us talk about that later,

It's important but love's greater,

Right now I'm busy as a bee.



I'm in an awful hurry so don't ask me now to stop,

I'm going to place an order in a little flower shop:



Give me one dozen roses

Put my heart in beside them

And send them to the one I love.



She'll be glad to receive them

And I know she'll believe them

That's something we've been talking of.



There may be orange blossoms later

Kind of think that there will

'Cause she's done something to me

And my heart won't keep still



Give me one dozen roses

Put my heart in beside them

And send them to the one I love.
