 Lavender blue, dilly-dilly

 Lavender green

 If I were king, dilly-dilly, I'd need a queen

 

 Whoa-oh, who told me so?, dilly-dilly

 Who told me so?

 I told myself, dilly-dilly

 I told me so

 

 If your dilly-dilly heart

 Feels a dilly-dilly way

 If you'll answer yes

 In a pretty little church

 On a dilly-dilly day

 You'll be wed in a dilly-dilly dress of

 

 Lavender blue, dilly-dilly

 Lavender green

 Then I'll be king, dilly-dilly

 You'll be my queen

 

 Then I'll be king dilly-dilly

 You'll be my queen

 

 (Lavender blue, dilly-dilly)
