Rosie

From Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack

JA:

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 several hours older.

Lilacs or lilies,

anything 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 Rosie,

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.

But i don't agree

Take it from me,

There's one rose sweeter than any that grows

That's my Rosie.

I'm so glad you chose me.

Life is one, sweet, beautiful song

to me.

JA: Now my life is Rosie

VW: Oh, we'll be happy I know.

JA: Since I found my Rosie.

VW: Off to the preacher we'll go.

JA: With a girl like ROsie

VW: So how could we

JA: How could I be blue?

VW: Be blue?

VW: Oh we'll have us a home out west.

A nice, little split, level nest.

And in every room, roses in bloom

JA: but there's one Rose sweeter than all of the rest.

JA: And that's my Rosie

Both:

I'm so glad you chose me.

Life is one, sweet, beautiful song.

If love is right, then, what could be wrong?

Life is one, sweet, beautiful song to me.
