American Beauty Rose

Writer(s): david/evans/altman


Daisy is darling, iris is sweet
Lily is lovely, blossom's a treat
Of all the sweethearts - a guy could meet
Well i finally chose an american beauty rose

Camelia's tragic, she can't be mine
Magnolia's magic, it makes maggie shine
Laurel will hug you, orchid's divine
Still i finally chose an american beauty rose

She's clingier than ivy, and she's zingier than black-eyed susan
And springier than mabel in june
I'm daffy as a daffodil, it's laughable the way i thrill
When roses are in bloom

Pansy is pretty, willow is tall
Violet's kisses, tulips (two lips) recall (violet's kiss is tulip's recall)
How can i choose one, i love 'em all
Still i finally chose an american beauty rose
