The Flower Garden Ball 1913

Springtime gave a flower garden ball,
ev'ry flower answered to the call,
roses dressed in robes of sparkling dew
They were there to gladly welcome you
daisies in their gowns of snowy white
bunny hugged with poppies left and right.
Pink carnations lightly tripped around
over clover blossoms on the ground.

Violets were swaying in the breeze
to the music of the Bumble Bees,
Roses doing turkey trots
with the sweet ForgetMeNots
Humming birds hummed haunting melodies.
The tulip and the stately Golden Rod
saw Morning Glories peeping o'er the wall.
The Tiger Lilies in disguise
they fluttered 'round with butterflies,
while dancing at the Flower Garden Ball.

Violets were swaying in the breeze
to the music of the Bumble Bees,
Roses doing turkey trots
with the sweet ForgetMeNots
Humming birds hummed haunting melodies.
The tulip and the stately Golden Rod
saw Morning Glories peeping o'er the wall.
The Tiger Lilies in disguise
they fluttered 'round with butterflies,
while dancing at the Flower Garden Ball.

Daffodils were gliding here and there
bluebells sweetly ringing in the air,
Hyacinths were dancing with delight,
lilacs kissed the ivy vines goodnight,
pansies in their little floral beds
they woke up and shook their drowsy heads,
twostepped till the leaves began to fall,
that broke up the Flower Garden Ball.

Violets were swaying in the breeze
to the music of the Bumble Bees,
Roses doing turkey trots
with the sweet ForgetMeNots
Humming birds hummed haunting melodies.
The tulip and the stately Golden Rod
saw Morning Glories peeping o'er the wall.
The Tiger Lilies in disguise
they fluttered 'round with butterflies,
while dancing at the Flower Garden Ball.

Violets were swaying in the breeze
to the music of the Bumble Bees,
Roses doing turkey trots
with the sweet ForgetMeNots
Humming birds hummed haunting melodies.
The tulip and the stately Golden Rod
saw Morning Glories peeping o'er the wall.
The Tiger Lilies in disguise
they fluttered 'round with butterflies,
while dancing at the Flower Garden Ball.
