"Would You Like To Buy Some Flowers" lyrics

"Would You Like To Buy Some Flowers"

Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
I'm selling some of mine
I got daisies for a nickel, sir
And roses for a dime
It don't take a lot of money
Just to show someone you care
Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
'Cause I've got some to spare

One day I went out walking down
A busy city street
I had lots of things to do
And some important folks to meet
When I saw a little flower girl
Standing in the square
Singing out above the market
In the early morning air

Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
I'm selling some of mine
I got daisies for a nickel, sir
And roses for a dime
You could buy them for your lover
She could twine them in her hair
Won't you buy some pretty flowers, sir?
'Cause I've got some to spare

Oh, I had to stop and listen
I just couldn't walk on by
When I asked her where her mother was
She took me by surprise
And said, "Don't think me a beggar, sir
For I have learned to choose
And I spread a little sunshine
Even though I've got the blues"

Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
I'm selling some of mine
I've got daisies for a nickel, sir
And roses for a dime
It don't take a lot of money
Just to show someone you care
Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
'Cause I've got some to spare

Would you like to buy some flowers?
Would you like to buy some flowers?
Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?
'Cause I've got some to spare
