         C
GILBERT: You once told me you could never really warm up to a flower

You couldn't live with

What you could live with

F
I paid very close attention so I'll mention

                     G                  C         F              G
if I may I heard you say that you would not ever wear a hothouse flower

And I quote [Pre-Chorus]

C
Hothouse flowers are like flowers that are flowered in a garden

Or in a forest

Am
Hothouse flowers are for me if I misquote I beg your pardon

I'm just a florist

F                                                 G
I'd feel silly where I couldn't wear a lily to a dance

You won't be happy

With a flower you can't live with

That's no way to go to the dance

Don't go with the wrong flower

You won't be happy

             F
You won't be happy

And you'll be happy at the dance
