(This
slogan was used by the florists Interflora for many years)
When your relationship is not sweet
but sour
And she’s locked herself in her
ivory tower
Be the hero of the hour
Say
it with flowers
If you’re in her bad books
And she’s giving you dirty looks
Get yourself off the hook
Instead of a regular apology
Use some savvy and psychology
Say
it with flowers
Is she casting aspersions?
Purchase nasturtiums
Giving you aggravation?
Conjure up carnations
Football’s on TV?
Send her some sweet pea
Want to win back her love?
Buy her those foxgloves
Looking to please her?
Unleash those freesias
Present her with posies
You’ll come up smelling of roses
Or daffodils
Lilies
Gladioli
Geraniums
Hyacinths
Marigolds
Pansies
Chrysanthemums
Say
it with flowers
And reprieve the reprehensible
Defend the indefensible
Rely on an old friend that’s always
dependable
A lovely bit of flora can go a long
way
And rescue situations that have turned
out the wrong way
Say
it with flowers
Cause flowers
Have mysterious and magical
restorative powers
And can say
“Sorry
“I wrote off your car by hitting
that lorry”
“Forgive me
“When I went to Paris I forgot to
take you with me”
“I regret
“That yours was the only birthday I managed
to forget”
Say
it with flowers
No need to be disgraced
Put a smile back on her face
Take her to a better place
Remember she’s the most important
person to you in the whole human race
And If you’re not a lyricist or poet
and not wonderful with words
When she’s fuming, boiling, sulking,
leaving (!) or just plain perturbed
Say
it with flowers
A bouquet
A splendid spray
A nosegay
A fantastic display
Don’t go for chocolates like All
Gold, Thornton’s, Quality Street or Milk Tray
When you go astray
Get in touch with your feminine side
whether you’re straight or gay
Say
it with flowers
When you’re in the doghouse you could
treat her to:
Jewellery, perfume, dinner or lunch
But guys you just can’t beat a beautiful
bunch
Of horticultural flare
To show her you really care
You’ve no need for marriage guidance
Or to resort to prayer
Say
it with flowers
