A white sport coat and a pink carnation;
I'm all dressed up for the dance.
A white sport coat and a pink carnation;

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.

And so one smile makes two
He smiles at someone, since you smile
