American Beauty Rose

Daisy is darling

Iris is sweet

Lily is lovely

Blossom's a treat



Of all the sweethearts

I've yet to 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



Why she's clingier than Ivy

And she's zingier than black-eyed Susan

And springier than Mabel in June

But 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 recall

How can I choose one

I love 'em all

Still I finally chose an American beauty rose



Say she's clingier than Ivy

And she's zingier than black-eyed Susan

And springier than Mabel in June

But daffy as a daffodil

It's laughable the way I thrill

When roses are in bloom



That Pansy is so pretty

Willow is tall

Violet's kisses

Tulips recall

How can I choose one

I love 'em all

Still I finally chose an

Can you guess who I chose?

Yep, I chose an American beauty rose
