Looking for Mabel Normand

I Won’t Send Roses

Music and Lyric by

Jerry Herman

Moderately

I won’t send roses or hold the door; I won’t remember which dress you wore.

My heart is too much in control, the lack of romance in my soul,

Will turn you gray, kid, so stay a-way kid.  For-get my should-der

When you’re in need. 

For-get-ting birth-days is guar – an  - teed 

And should I love you, you would be

The last to know

I won’t send roses

And roses suit you so suit you so

My pace is frantic, my temper’s cross; With words romantic I’m at a loss.

I’d be the first one to agree, that I’m preoccupied with me,

And it’s in – bred, kid, so keep your head kid.  In me you’ll find things

Like guts and nerve,

But not the kind things that you deserve.

And so while there’s a fight – ing chance

Just turn and go.

I won’t send roses

And roses suit you so suit you so
