Duke Ellington - Red Roses for a Blue Lady

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

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