When
You Wore A Tulip
And
I Wore A Big Red Rose
Words By Jack Mahoney and Music by Percy Wenrich
Publication: Leo Feist Inc. Feist Building,
New York, 1914
Written by Percy Wenrich, writer of "Moonlight
Bay" and "Put On Your Old Grey Bonnet",
and introduced by his wife, vaudeville star
Dolly Connolly, this song was a hit
the minute it was first sung. It became very
popular to the boys in the trenches of
World War One, reminding them of sweeter, simpler
days back home. The Allied soldiers
had altered lyrics for this tune to fit the
Germans,
but unfortunately they are not printable for
a family-oriented website like Melody Lane ;)

On December 12, 2000, Oldsmobile announced that
the cars

over the past century
