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

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
