| 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. |
