Artificial Flowers

　　Artificial Flowers - Bobby Darin

　　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 ya hear this poor little child

　　Was only nine years of age

　　When mother and dad went away

　　Still she bravely 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

　　Fashioned 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 with 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 instead 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 annie's despair
