Artificial Flowers
Bobby Darin
Written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick

(#20 in 1960)

Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind.

((Did you hear?)
This poor little child was only nine years of age
when mother and dad went away;
Still brav-el-y worked
At the one thing she knew
to earn her few pennies a day.

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Fashions from Annie's despair.

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.

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.

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.

There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers.

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 A-a-a-annie's
Des-pa-a-a-air.
(Give her the real thing!


Mirror lyrics:

(Give her the real thing!
Des-pa-a-a-air.
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's
Fashioned from Annie's,
Those dumb-dumb flowers,
Throw away those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of society to wear.
Throw away those artificial flowers,
No more artificial flowers;

A garland of genuine flowers.
And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
In heavenly gardens and bowers.
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play

And watered with all her young tears.
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
They found little Annie all covered in ice

Made from Annie's despair.
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear.
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers

Her baby little fingers grew numb.
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
She made up each tulip and mum.
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax

Fashions from Annie's despair.
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers,
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear;
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers,

to earn her few pennies a day.
At the one thing she knew
Still brav-el-y worked
when mother and dad went away;
This poor little child was only nine years of age
((Did you hear?)

Leavin' their baby behind.
Her parents had gone to their final reward
As sweet a young child as you'd find.
Alone in the world was poor little Anne
