Thread Name: Origins: Don't Cry, Lady, I'll Buy Your...Violets
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lady, I'll buy your damned violets
There is a great variation to the chorus. When you get to the very last chorus, you sing,

Dont cry, old man, I'll but your stinkin' violets/ Dont cry, old man, your pencils, too/ Dont cry, old man. Take off those dark sunglasses/ Hello, mother, I knew it was you!
