Roses Red, Violets Blue (Demo) Lyrics by E. Y. Harburg, Harold Arlen

Gay Purr-ee (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1962

Roses Red, Violets Blue
The rhyme is old
But love is new
When love is new
The heart is young
And that is why the spring has sprung
The spring has sprung for hers and his
And that is why the sap has ris
The breezes buzz
And roses is
Where roses never was
All the world
It loves a lover
‘Cause a lover loves the world
And that is why Roses Red, Violets Blue
Let me make this clear to you
When you’re in love, it’s always true
The Goldarn roses must be red
And violets must be blue
All the world
It loves a lover
‘Cause a lover loves the world
And that is why Roses Red, Violets Blue
Let me make this clear to you
When you’re in love, it’s always true
The Goldarn roses must be red
And violets must be blue
All this simply means
Paris, I love you
