Artificial Flowers:Bobby Darin.
#20 in '60.
#1.
DAlone in the Bmworld was F#mpoor little BmAnne,
As Gsweet a young Em7child as you'd A7find.
Her Dparents had Bmgone to their F#m7final reBmward,
GLeavin' Em7their A7baby beDhind.A7
#2.
This Dpoor little Bmchild was only F#m7nine years of Bmage,
when Gmother and Em7dad went aAway.A7
Still Dbravely she Bmworked at the F#m7one thing she Bmknew,
to Gearn Em7her few A7pennies a Dday.
CHORUS:
D7She made GartiEm7ficial Gmflowers, DartiGficial B7flowers,
GFlowEm7ers for A7ladies of DfashGion to Dwear.
D7She made GartiEm7ficial Gmflowers, you Gm7know those DartiF#m7ficial B7flowers,
GFash..Gmioned Em7from A7Annie's desDpair.
#3.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax,
She made up each tulip and mum.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room,
Her baby little fingers grew numb.
CHORUS:
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair.
#4.
They found little Annie all covered in ice,
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears.
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand,
And watered with all her young tears.
#5.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instead of a halo she'll wear round her head,
A garland of genuine flowers.
CHORUS:
No more artificial flowers;
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Fashioned from Annie's, fashioned from Annie's
Despair.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
