Red Roses For A Blue Lady

Artist: Vic Dana (peak Billboard position # 10 in 1965)
Words and Music by Sid Tepper and Roy Bennett
Just edged out contemporary # 11 hit by Bert Kaempfert
Soundly beat Wayne Newton's contemporary # 23 version.
Previously a # 3 hit for Vaughn Monroe in 1949

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

(I want some red roses for a blue lady)

We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue, blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

Your best white orchid for her wedding gown
