Cancel the flowers, please Mister Florist,
The lady has others to wear.
I didn't send them, and never dreamed
That they'd be there!

Twenty four hours made such a difference,
They've placed us in worlds far apart.
Please Mister Florist, cancel the flowers
With the dream in my heart.

Last night at her door,
I met a boy with flowers for
The lady I love;
And then when he rang,
I knew the answer when she sang
The name on the card of the flowers that came.

Cancel the flowers, please Mister Florist,
I'm sure that you now understand
She never planned to part with her heart
When she gave me her hand.
