Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Camellia'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
[Verse 3]
She's clingier than Ivy, and she's zingier than black-eyed Susan
Springier than Mabel in June
I'm daffy as a daffodil, it's laughable the way I thrill
When roses are in bloom
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
