My Sister Rose

Big, big plans are being made

For my sister's wedding day

We'll have a ball at the Sons of Roma Hall

Family, friends come one and all



First the best man make a toast

to Rocky and my sister Rose

"A life a years, free of tears

Bottom's up and lots of luck"



Polka, tango everyone

Cha-cha, mambo

Rose and Rock alone

Frankie Rizzo and his combo play on



Single girls all hear the call

Form a crowd at the back wall

And when the bouquet flies each one tries

To be the best catch and next year's bride



Uncle Sam and uncle Joe

Take their places in a row

They're standing by side to side

For dollar dances with the bride



Polka, tango everyone

Cha-cha, mambo

Rose and Rock alone

"He's a banker, she'll be well off now"



Sister Rose take your mother's place

Trade your home and your maiden name

For a list of vows and a veil of lace

Made a wife of you today



Now they cut the five-tier cake

"That Colucci, he can bake"

A frosted tower of sugar and flour

for the couple of the hour



Polka, tango everyone

Cha-cha, mambo

Rose and Rock alone

"She was born to wear that gown"



Sister Rose take your mother's place

Trade your home and your maiden name

For a list of vows and a veil of lace

Made a wife of you today

But you're my sister Rose the same
