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