Charles Strouse
Rosie
[Albert]
I was never crazy for flowers
I confess that nothing left me colder;
I could watch a daisy for hours
And all I'd feel was sev'ral hours older!
Lilacs and lilies, any bloom you please
All what they did was make me shrug or sneeze;
But now I love each blossom that I see
For a lovely little rose loves me
Now my life is rosy
Since I've found my Rosie
With a girl like Rosie
How could I be blue?
Hand in hand we'll mosey
Me and little Rosie
We will be so cozy
By a fire built for two
Oh, I once heard a poem that goes:
"A rose is a rose is a rose"
Well I don't agree
Take it from me
There's one rose sweeter than any that grows!
And that's my Rosie
I'm so glad she chose me;
Life is one sweet, beautiful song to me[Albert][Rose]Now my life is rosyOh, we'll be happy, I knowSince I found myRosieOff to the preacher we'll goWith a girl likeRosieSo how could we/td>How could I be blue?be blue?[Rosie]
Oh we'll have us a home out west
A nice little split-level nest
And in ev'ry room roses in bloom
[Albert]
But there's on rose sweeter than all of the rest!
Then that's my Rosie

[Rosie]
I'm so glad you chose me!

Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
When love is right then
What can be wrong?
Life is one sweet beautiful song
To me!
