Eighteen yellow roses came today
D               A                 D
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
G
When the boy came to the door
D
I didn't know what to say
A                               D
But, eighteen yellow roses came today.

Continues after the ad
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes, eighteen yellow roses came today.

B                               D
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
B                                G     A
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do.

D                   A                    D
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'cause eighteen yellow roses
Will wilt and die one day ...
