A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up
for the dance
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm all alone
in romance
Once you told
me long ago
To the dance
with me you'd go
Now you've changed
your mind it seems
Someone else will
hold my dream
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue, blue mood
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up
for the dance
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
to the dance with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind
it seems
Someone else will
hold my dream
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue, blue mood
A white sport coat
and a pink carnation
