Tulips shyly smiling, greet the spring br Tightly closed when at br First we meet br Tulips slowly opening, begin to sing br Gaining volume br Ever sweet br br No longer shy, as days grow longer, br Raising their heads br They begin to flirt br Tulips dressed in many a color br Breezes swirling br Each floral skirt br br Tulips, brazen painted hussies, br Part their bright lips trying to seduce br The busy buzzing bees br Far too bold for dainty tussies br Vibrant Tulip flowers produce br Visions certain to pleasebr br Mary Havranbr br
