Pink carnations don't suit my suit,
so I don't wear pink carnations,
I don't wear pink carnations,
'cos they don't suit my boots either.

Pink carnations are no fun at all,
they drive me mad,
Pink carnations are no fun at all,
they drive me mad.

'cos pink don't suit me,
and it's a shame,
'cos pink carnations all the rage,
at the moment.

[ALL] ...and it's shame,
'cos pink carnations are all the rage.

Pink carnations don't suit my suit,
Pink carnations don't suit my hat,
Pink carnations don't suit my guitar,
Pink carnations don't suit my bike.

Pink carnations don't suit my shoes,
Pink carnations don't suit trousers,
Pink carnations don't suit me,
Pink carnations don't suit me.

[ALL] ...and it's shame,
'cos pink carnations are all the rage.
