Did you ever smell a flower, ah that smelled so sweet
Ah till it would knock you off of your feet?
If you haven't, just follow me
And you soon will see
For I know of one, can't be beat

Why you are sweeter 'n any flower
That I ever seen
And I'm sure that you know
Ah, you're sweeter 'n any flower that grow
Why you are sweeter than a lily
And you're sweeter than a rose
And what I'm dyin' to know is
Where did they get that seed
I mean that seed of sweet pea?

I say you are sweeter 'n any flower
That I ever seen
I'm sure that you know
Ah, you're sweeter 'n any flower that grow
Why you are sweeter than a lily
Yes you're sweeter than a rose
And what I'm dyin' to know is
Where did they get that seed
I mean that seed of sweet pe
