I Pick You (The Flower Song)

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"
I've got a loud mouth but no green thumb
So, I hate keeping "mum"

I don't mind "lie-lacs"
But I'd rather stay honest
And 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"

Black-Eyed Susans remind me of a bully I once knew, and while
We're on the subject
Let's cross off pansies too

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

"car"nations are "auto"matically 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" (two bros) 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

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
