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 prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind, it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white (a white)
Sport coat (sport coat)
And a pink carnation
And 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 prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white (a white)
Sport coat (sport coat)
And a pink carnation
And in a blue, blue mood
