"Sweet Violets" is a classic example of a "censored rhyme", where the expected-rhyme of each couplet is replaced with an unexpected word which segues into the next couplet or chorus. For example, the first couplets go:
The chorus is taken nearly verbatim from the song "Sweet Violets" by Joseph Emmet, from his 1882 play ''Fritz Among the Gypsies'':
The song was recorded by Dinah Shore with Henri René's Orchestra & Chorus in Hollywood on May 20, 1951. The song was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-4174A (78 rpm record), 47-4174A (single) (in USA)〔(RCA Victor Records in the 20-4000 to 20-4499 series )〕 and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10115. The Dinah Shore version was arranged by Cy Coben and Charles Grean. It reached # 3 on the Billboard magazine charts. It has also been recorded by Mitch Miller and the Gang, Jane Turzy, and Judy Lynn. The song (in all its versions, combined) reached #1 on the Cash Box magazine best-seller chart. Numerous folk versions exist in which the implied lyrics are more risque. == References == Copyright 1951 by Edwin H.
