A white sports coat and a pink carnation   I'm all dressed up for the dance   A white sports 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 sports coat and a pink carnation   I'm in a blue, blue mood      I'm all dressed up for the dance   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 sports coat and a pink carnation   I'm in a blue, blue mood
