Everything's Coming Up Roses
Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey
Gotta have the whole world on a plate
Starting here, starting now
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks, clear the tracks,
You got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss, take a bow
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Now it's your inning
Stand the world on it's ear
Said it's spinning
That'll be just the beginning
Curtain up, light the lights
You got nothing to hit, but the heights
You'll be swell, you'll be great
I can tell, just you wait
The lucky star I talk about is due
Honey, everything's coming up roses
For me and for you!
You can do it
All you need is a hand
We can do it
Momma is gonna see to it
Curtain up, light the lights
We got nothing to hit but the heights
I can tell, wait and see
There's a bell, follow me
And nothing's gonna stop us Till we're through
Honey, everything's coming up roses And'daffodils
Everything's coming up Sunshine and Santa Claus
Everything's gotta be Bright lights and lollipops
Everything's coming up roses
For me and for you
