Rosie From Bye Bye Birdie

I was never crazy for flowers
I confess nothing left me colder
I could watch a daisy for hours
And all I’d feel was several hours older
Lilacs or lillies, any bloom you please
All that 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 rosey
Since I 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 choose me
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me
 
Now my life is rosey
Oh, we’ll be happy I know
Since I found my Rosie
Off to the preacher we’ll go
With a girl like Rosie
So how could we be blue
So how could be be blue
 
Oh we’ll have us a home out west
A nice little split level nest
And in every room roses in bloom
But there’s one rose sweeter than all of the rest
 
And that’s my Rosie,
I’m so glad you choose me,
Life is one sweet beautiful song
When love is right, then, what can be wrong
Life is one sweet beautiful song to me.
