Lyrics When You Wore a Tulip (And I Wore a Big Red Rose) - Judy Garland , Gene Kelly

Mister Kelly, if I may
Remind you to remember the day
Of horseless carriages
And divorceless marriages

Dear Miss Garland, I presume
That in your memory you've enough room
To reach infinity Or that vicinity

My heart booms
Like it had a shot of adrenaline

Your heart booms
At the thought of old lace and crinoline

So hold your hats, for here we go
To the dear dead days when a girl's best beau
Had his heart in it
As he went to the spinet
And sang to her this charming serenade

When you wore a tulip
A big yellow tulip
And I wore a big red rose
When you caressed me
T'was then heaven blessed me
What a blessing no one knows

You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
T'was down where the bluegrass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julip
When you wore a tulip
And I wore a big red rose

When you wore a tulip
Yes, you wore a yellow tulip
And I, and I wore a rose
A big fat rose!

When you caressed me
'Twas then heaven blessed me
What a bless, what a bless
What a blessing no one knows

You made life cheery
When you called me dearie
It was down where the bluegrass grows
Your lips were sweeter than julip
When you wore a tulip
And I wore a big red rose
