A white sport coat and a pink carnation
(doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance
(bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
(doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance
(bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
Once you told me long ago
(doo-doo)
To the prom with me, you'd go
(doo-doo)
Now, you've changed your mind, it seems
(doo-wa)
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white (a white) sport coat (sport coat) and a pink carnation
doo-wa)
And in a blue, blue mood
(bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
~A white sport coat and a pink carnation~
(doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance
(bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
~A white sport coat and a pink carnation~
(doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance
(bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
Once you told me long ago
(doo-doo)
To the prom with me, you'd go
(doo-doo)
Now you've changed your mind, it seems
(doo-wa)
Someone else will hold my dreams
A white (a white) sport coat (sport coat) and a pink carnation
(doo-wa)
I'm in a blue, blue mood
(Ah-ah)
