24 Red Roses

14 apple blossoms in the early spring 
7 silent teardrops and a wedding ring 
2 cold scoops of ice cream in a cone 
4 sweet nothings through the telephone 
and 18 of my favorite songs that still ring true 
and 24 red roses, 24 red roses, 24 red roses for you.

15 pretty women on a carousel
37 sinners at the gates of hell 
2 brass bands and an Irish reel 
1 interment followed by a meal 
and 4 princesses making their debut
and 24 red roses, 24 red roses, 24 red roses for you.

16 bishops mitres hanging out to dry 
1 small beauty spot on a ladies thigh 
20 vicars at the mardi gras 
7 frilly knickers and a bra 
14 lovesick cloudlets in the blue 
and 24 red roses, 24 red roses, 24 red roses for you.

16 TV preachers on a Sabbath morn 
18 blushing virgins and a unicorn 
1400 green peas in a tin 
9 hiccups from someone on the gin 
and 1 small newborn panda at the Peking Zoo 
and 24 red roses, 24 red roses, 24 red roses for you. 

9 backbenchers in the lavatory 
13 monkeys on a monoski 
8 fat astronauts in quarantine 
16 call girls in a submarine 
And 19 Santa Clauses in a queue 
and 24 red roses, 24 red roses, 24 red roses for you.
