One Dozen Roses
Dinah Shore · Other Songs - Dinah Shore
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.
