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.

[Bridge:]

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 sport coat and a pink carnation, I'm in a blue, blue mood.
