DAlone in the Bmworld was F♯mpoor little BmAnne,
As Gsweet a young Em7child as you'd A7find.
Her Dparents had Bmgone to their F♯m7final reBmward,
GLeavin' Em7their A7baby beDhind.A7

This Dpoor little Bmchild was only F♯m7nine years of Bmage,
when Gmother and Em7dad went aAway.A7
Still Dbravely she Bmworked at the F♯m7one thing she Bmknew,
to Gearn Em7her few A7pennies a Dday.

Chorus
D7She made GartiEm7ficial Gmflowers, DartiGficial B7flowers,
GFlowEm7ers for A7ladies of DfashGion to Dwear.
D7She made GartiEm7ficial Gmflowers, you Gm7know those DartiF♯m7ficial B7flowers,
GFash..Gmioned Em7from A7Annie's desDpair.

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.
Chorus
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 instead of a halo she'll wear round her head,
A garland of genuine flowers.
Chorus
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.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
