I Pick You (The Flower Song)
Evangeline

You asked me if I had to pick

What would my favorite flower be

And as for my response

I thought about it very carefully

I ain't one for two-lips,

I already have those,

And I'd want a silver wedding band,

So baby, not marrygolds,

I don't need a buttercup

to know that I have luck, I have you,

And I'm hydrated and healthy

So forget the IV

Black-Eyed Susans remind me of a bully I once knew,

And while we're on the subject let's cross off pansies too.

So yeah roses really are red,

And violets are so very blue,

But you can forget about the bouquet,

Because no matter what day, it's true

I'll always pick you.

You'd make me think we're a was,

If you got begone-ias,

And I've got a loud mouth but not a green thumb,

so I hate keeping mum.

I don't mind lie-lacs,

But I'd rather stay honest,

Jasmine's nice but I prefer Pocahontas.

You say forget me not- you know I won't ever,

And we can save or kid as a future endeavor,

And while we're on the subject of family trees,

Let's add to the list baby's breath and poppies.

And I don't like words that I can't spell,

So that means rhododendrons are incontrovertibly out as well.

So yeah roses really are red,

And violets are so very blue,

But you can forget about the bouquet,

Because no matter what day, it's true

I'll always pick you.

I'm not a fan of sweetpea or brussel sprout,

carnations are automatically out.

I like the hill not so much the valley, so lets just add lily to the tally,

And Queene Anne can keep her Lace it was for Sythia anyways.

I got two sisters not tuberose from my paps,

And Edelweiss was taken by the Von Trapps,

The bird of paradise can stay in his tree and take the snapdragon with it cuz they ain't for me,

The guy who named sunflowers had his physics askew,

Because we'd all explode if the sun ever grew.

(it makes me nervous)

But sure roses really are red,

And violets are so very blue,

But you can forget about the bouquet,

Because no matter what day, it's true

I'll always pick you.
