Thread Name: Lyr Req: When You Wore a Tulip (Mahoney/Wenrich)
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP (AND I WORE A...)
WHEN YOU WORE A TULIP (AND I WORE A BIG RED ROSE)
words by Jack Mahoney, music by Percy Wenrich, 1914

(used in "For Me and My Gal," with Gene Kelly and Judy Garland)


When you wore a tulip, a sweet yellow tulip, and I wore a big red rose,
When you caressed me, 'twas then Heaven blessed me,
What a blessing no one knows.
You made life cheery when you called me dearie,
'Twas down where the blue grass grows,
Your lips were sweeter than julep
When you wore that tulip, and I wore a big red rose.
Are there any verses to this song, or is this all there is?
