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.
